Ekkehard of Huysburg was a Benedictine abbot and a canon at Halberstadt Cathedral who lived in Germany during the 11th century. Around 1070, he served as a spiritual guide for a nun named Pia, eventually leading several others to join her at a hermitage. This community grew into a double monastery, where Ekkehard was elected as its inaugural abbot in late 1080. He held this position until his resignation in 1083, shortly before his death in June 1084.
