Doda of Reims was a 6th-century abbess of the Saint-Pierre-les-Dames monastery in Reims. A princess of the Ripuarian Franks, she is believed to be the daughter of King Chloderic or a granddaughter of King Sigobert. After refusing a marriage to a courtier, who died in a fall while attempting to abduct her, she sought refuge in the abbey managed by her aunt, Beuve. She eventually succeeded her aunt as leader of the religious community, working to secure its legal protections.
