Sancha of León (c. 1018^[2] – 8 November 1067^[3]) was a princess and queen of León. She was married to Ferdinand I, the Count of Castile who later became King of León after having killed Sancha's brother in battle. She and her husband commissioned the Crucifix of Ferdinand and Sancha.

Sancha was a daughter of Alfonso V of León by his first wife, Elvira Menéndez.^[2] She became a secular abbess of the Monastery of San Pelayo.^[3]

In 1029, a political marriage was arranged between her and count García Sánchez of Castile.^[4] However, having traveled to León for the marriage, García was assassinated by a group of disgruntled vassals. In 1032, Sancha was married to García's nephew and successor, Ferdinand I of León and Castile, when the latter was 11 years old.^[3]

At the Battle of Tamarón in 1037 Ferdinand killed Sancha's brother^[5] Bermudo III of León,^[6] making Sancha the heir and allowing Ferdinand to have himself crowned King of León. Sancha's own position as queen of León is unclear and contradictory. She succeeded to the throne of León as the heir of her brother and in her "own right"^[7] but despite this, she is not clearly referred to as queen regnant, and after the death of her husband the throne passed to her son, despite the fact that she was still alive.^[8]

Following Ferdinand's death in 1065 and the division of her husband's kingdom, she is said to have played the futile role of peacemaker among her sons.^{[citation needed]}

She was a devout Catholic, who, with her husband, commissioned the crucifix that bears their name^[9] as a gift for the Basilica of San Isidoro.^[10]

Sancha had five children:

• Urraca of Zamora^[11]
• Sancho II of León and Castile^[12]
• Elvira of Toro^[12]
• Alfonso VI of León and Castile^[12]
• García II of Galicia^[12]

She died in the city of León on 8 November 1067.^[3] She was interred in the Royal Pantheon of the Basilica of San Isidoro,^[13] along with her parents, brother, husband, and her children Elvira, Urraca and García.^[14]
