Ingerid Swendsdatter of Denmark (also spelt Ingrid) was a Danish Princess who became Queen of Norway as the spouse of King Olaf III of Norway.
Ingerid Swensdatter was the daughter of King Sweyn II of Denmark. It is not known which one of her father's wives and concubines who was her mother.
She was married to Olav Kyrre in 1067 in a marriage arranged as a part of the peace treaty between Denmark and Norway, and became Queen of Norway upon marriage the same year. Queen Ingerid had no children by King Olaf.
After the death of King Olav in 1093, Queen Dowager Ingerid, according to unconfirmed tradition, moved to Sogn and married Svein Brynjulfsson of Aurland (1052-1080), with whom she reportedly had a daughter, Hallkattla. Ingerid was probably buried with Svein in a cemetery in Aurland.
