Ingeborg Birgersdotter (c. 1253 – 30 June 1302), was a Duchess consort of Saxony, married to John I, Duke of Saxony. She was the daughter of the Swedish regent Birger Jarl and Princess Ingeborg Eriksdotter.

Ingeborg Birgersdotter has been falsely identified as the daughter of her maternal uncle, King Eric Eriksson, likely because she in contemporary German sources was referred to as filiam regis Suecie and filia Regis Sweonum (Daughter of the Swedish King).[citation needed]
