Heilika of Pettendorf-Lengenfeld (also known as Eilika; – 14 September 1170; buried in Ensdorf Abbey) was by marriage Countess Palatine of Bavaria.

She was one of the two daughters of the edelfrei Lord Frederick III of Pettendorf-Lengenfeld-Hopfenohe, who died between 1112 and 1119 without a male heir. Her mother was a Heilika of Swabia the daughter of Duke Frederick I of Swabia and his wife, Agnes of Germany. As such, she was a granddaughter of Emperor Henry IV.

    Heilika von Lengenfeld (auch Eilika; * um 1103; † 14. September 1170 in Lengenfeld[1]; begraben im Kloster Ensdorf) war durch Ehe Pfalzgräfin von Bayern.
    Sie war eine der beiden Töchter des Edelfreien (oder Grafen) Friedrich III. von Pettendorf-Lengenfeld-Hopfenohe, der 1112/1119 ohne männlichen Erben starb. Ihre Mutter Heilika von Schwaben wurde als Tochter Herzog Friedrichs I. von Schwaben angesehen.
