Yes, if you go to Settings, Safari, then select 'Passwords and Autofill'. You can select the contact info for the Autofill feature. If you select a contact with more than one email, it will use the first email under that contact's information. So, you might need to change the order of the emails listed.
Hope that helps.

I figured it out with your help but I would add one little correction to what you said. It doesn't choose your first email address if you have multiple email addresses. It chooses the first email that is labeled email. It must have the label email. It can't be labeled home, work, or anything else. Thanks for your help.
OK glad it helped. Strange, though, as my first email is labelled 'home' and it is what Autofill uses. Anyhow, glad you figured it out!
My first email address was also labeled home and it did not work for me. I had to change the label to email and then it worked.
I think I've finally figured it out. Hopefully this will help people who have the same problem that you do, even though you may have resolved it. These are instructions for a desktop, not an iPhone, BTW.
Chances are you'll have more than one contact card for yourself in Contacts.
Choose one with the email address you'd like to use.
Go to menu item Card.
Choose "make this my card."
A little person icon should appear by your name in the list.
I think this will do it.
This is what worked for me... I placed the email address that I wanted autofill to use at the top of the email addresses (I don't think it matters what label is used), then deleted the email address that kept being filled into forms (in error) and then recreated that address at the bottom.
It doesn't even do that, it chooses the first email by its label in alphabetical order. Example: imagine you have your addresses in this order
* home
* work
It will select the Facebook one. The order they appear in your Contacts is irrelevant.

No - Safari selects them by their label in alphabetical order. The only way you can influence the selection is by changing the labelling, e.g. change the label form "home" to "aaaa" to force it to be the first thing in the list; however, you will need to completely clear Safari's cached information for this to take effect.
