Engratia was a Christian virgin martyr from Bracara Augusta who lived during the early 4th century. According to tradition, she traveled to Caesaraugusta accompanied by her uncle Lupercius, a servant named Julia, and several noblemen. Upon arriving, she encountered a period of intense Christian persecution under the governor Dacian. After attempting to persuade the governor to stop his actions, she was imprisoned and beaten for her faith. She eventually died from her injuries, becoming one of the many martyrs of Zaragoza.
