Oda of Brabant was a 12th-century Belgian nun and prioress belonging to the Premonstratensian order. Born into a noble family in Anderlues in 1134, she sought to avoid an arranged marriage by intentionally disfiguring her face. This action allowed her to pursue her religious calling, leading her to join the community at Rivroelles. She eventually rose to the position of prioress within the convent before her death in 1158.
