Egbert Ludovicus Viele (Vee-lee) (June 17, 1825 – April 22, 1902) was a civil engineer and United States Representative from New York, as well as an officer in the Union army during the American Civil War. Viele was born in Waterford, New York (Saratoga County), a son of Kathline Schuyler (Knickerbacker) and John L. Viele. He graduated with honors from The Albany Academy and studied law briefly before entering the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. He graduated on July 1, 1847, and was commissioned as a brevet second lieutenant in the Second United States Infantry. He served in the Mexican-American War and was promoted to second lieutenant in the First United States Infantry on September 8, 1847.

Viele married Teresa Griffin on June 3, 1850, and was promoted to first lieutenant on October 26 the same year. He resigned from the service in 1853 to become a civil and military engineer. He received an appointment as State Engineer of New Jersey in 1855 with a commission to conduct a topographical survey of the state.
