Hedwig of Nordgau (c. 922 – after 993) was the wife of Siegfried of Luxembourg, first count of Luxembourg and founder of the country. They were married c. 950. She was of Saxon origin but her parentage is not known for certain. Some sources claim that she was connected to the family of Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor. Described as "saintly" herself, Hedwig of Nordgau was the mother of Saint Cunigunde of Luxembourg, the seventh of eleven children from her marriage to Siegfried.

    "A number of candidates have been put forward as possible candidates for Hedwig's father. Unfortunately, all are subject to serious objections." (In particular, he points out the attribution of Eberhard IV as her father, made here, is based on a fabricated charter, among other problems.)

    Hedwig van Nordgau (937 - 13 december na 993) is de naam die vaak wordt gegeven aan de echtgenote van Siegfried van Luxemburg waar ze rond 950 mee trouwde. Haar afkomst is niet met zekerheid bekend. Er zijn twee genoemde mogelijkheden:

    dochter van graaf Eberhard IV van de Nordgau, graaf van de Elzasser Nordgau, en Luitgard van Lotharingen. Pro: Eberhard was graaf in de Elzas, en dat is relatief dicht bij Luxemburg. Contra: Siegfried zou dan haar oom zijn geweest, en dat zou dit huwelijk praktisch onmogelijk hebben gemaakt.
    dochter van Berthold van Schweinfurt, onder andere graaf van de Beierse Nordgau. Pro: verklaart de Beierse connecties van hun kinderen. Contra: de afstand, en zijn enige bekende vrouw (Heliksuinda van Walbeck) was te jong om moeder van Hedwig te zijn - maar mogelijk was er een eerdere echtgenote.
