Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (1815 - 1852), born Augusta Ada Byron and now commonly known as Ada Lovelace, is credited with writing the first recognisable algorithm intended for processing by a machine, Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, in 1843. She is therefore known as the world's first computer programmer.

The programming language Ada is also named after her.
