Gertrude of Hohenberg (c. 1225 – 16 February 1281) was the first wife of Rudolph I of Germany.
Gertrude was born to Burkhard V, Count of Hohenberg (died 1253), and his wife, Matilda of Tübingen. In 1251, Gertrude married Rudolph IV, Count of Habsburg. They had eleven children:
Her husband was elected King of Germany in Frankfurt on 29 September 1273, largely due to the efforts of her cousin Frederick III, Burgrave of Nuremberg. Rudolph was crowned in Aachen on 24 October 1273. She served as his Queen consort for the following eight years.
She died in Vienna, early in 1281, and buried in the Münster of Basel. Rudolph remained a widower for three years and proceeded to marry Isabelle of Burgundy.
