Ingerid Swendsdatter of Denmark (also spelt Ingrid; 11th century – after 1093) was a Danish princess who became Queen of Norway as the spouse of King Olaf III of Norway.[1]

Ingerid Swensdatter was the daughter of King Sweyn II of Denmark. It is not known which one of her father's wives and concubines was the mother of Ingerid.[2]

She seem to have retired to private life as a widow and there is nothing to indicate that she played any political part after the death of her spouse.
