Saint Ingrid of Skänninge was a 13th-century Swedish nun and prioress from the nobility of Östergötland. Following the death of her husband, she joined a group of pious women led by the Dominican friar Petrus de Dacia. In 1272, she established the Skänninge Abbey, a Dominican convent, and served as its leader. Known for her ascetic lifestyle and mystical experiences, she is often considered a spiritual influence on Saint Bridget of Sweden. She died in Skänninge in 1282.
