Gertrude of Flanders, Duchess of Lorraine (c. 1070–1117), also Countess of Louvain, Landgravine of Brabant until 1095, as the consort of her husbands. At the time the duchy was the upper Lorraine, since 959 separated from the duchy of Lower Lorraine.

Gertrude was daughter of Robert I, Count of Flanders (c. 1035–1093) and Gertrude of Saxony (c. 1030 – 1113). Robert was son of Baldwin V of Flanders and Adèle, a daughter of King Robert II of France, and Gertrude daughter of the Duke of Saxony. She was sister of Robert II, Count of Flanders (c. 1065 – 1111), "Robert the Crusader".
