Ingeborg Mstislavna of Kiev (fl. 1137) was a Ruthenian princess, the daughter of Grand Prince Mstislav I of Kiev and Christina Ingesdotter of Sweden. She married Danish prince Canute Lavard of Jutland around 1117, in a match arranged by her maternal aunt, Queen Margaret Fredkulla of Denmark. In 1130 she tried to stop Canute from going to a gathering where he would be murdered, but she could not prevent it. She gave birth to their son, Valdemar I of Denmark, in January 1131 after Canute’s death. In 1137 she refused to support Christiern Svendsen’s proposal to crown her son after Erik Emune’s death. After this, she disappears from records, and her birth and death dates are unknown.
