Theodora Angelina (died 22/23 June 1246) was the wife of Leopold VI of Austria, by whom she had several children.

Theodora is believed to have been born sometime around 1180/5 in Constantinople to parents whose identities are uncertain. However, it is known that one of her grandmothers was a daughter of a Byzantine Emperor. As such, Theodora may have been a daughter of John Doukas (son of Andronikos Angelos) or else a daughter of one of Andronikos' daughters.

In 1203, Theodora married a distant cousin, Leopold VI, Duke of Austria. Her husband died in 1230 and she subsequently became a nun. She died in 1246.

Leopold and Theodora had seven children:
