Kjeld of Viborg was a 12th-century Danish clergyman who served as a canon and provost. Born to wealthy parents near Randers, he studied in Lübeck before joining the Augustinian canons at Viborg Cathedral. He eventually rose to become the dean of the canons, though his extreme generosity toward the poor caused friction with his colleagues. After a pilgrimage to Rome to seek permission for missionary work, he returned to Viborg, where he died in 1150.
