Antonio de Ulloa y de la Torre-Giralt, FRS, FRSA, KOS (12 January 1716 – 3 July 1795) was a Spanish naval officer, scientist, and administrator.
At the age of nineteen, he joined the French Geodesic Mission to what is now the country of Ecuador.
That mission took more than eight years to complete its work, during which time Ulloa made many astronomical, natural, and social observations in South America.
The reports of Ulloa's findings earned him an international reputation as a leading savant.
Those reports include the first published observations of the metal platinum, later identified as a new chemical element.
Ulloa was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1746, and as a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1751.
