Ingeborg Mstislavna of Kiev (fl. 1137) was a Ruthenian princess, married to the Danish prince Canute Lavard of Jutland. [1]

She was the daughter of Grand Prince Mstislav I of Kiev and Christina Ingesdotter of Sweden and was in about 1117 married to Canute in a marriage arranged by her maternal aunt, the Danish queen Margaret Fredkulla. [2] [1] In 1130, she tried to prevent Canute from going to the gathering where he was to be murdered, but without success.

She gave birth to their son, Valdemar I of Denmark, in January 1131, after her husband's death. [3] [4] In 1137, she refused to support the suggestion of Christiern Svendsen to proclaim her son monarch after the death of her late husband's half-brother Erik Emune. [5] Ingeborg is not mentioned after this, and the date of her birth and death are unknown.
