Carl Anton Emil Ewald , also Karl Anton Ewald (born October 30, 1845 in Berlin , † September 20, 1915 in Berlin) was a German internist .

Ewald was promoted to Dr. med. PhD . He then worked as an assistant to the internist and hepatologist Friedrich Theodor von Frerichs and completed his habilitation in 1874.
