Sabina, Duchess of Bavaria (Dutch: Sabina van Palts-Simmern; 1528–1578) was the daughter of John II, Count Palatine of Simmern and Beatrix of Baden.^[1]

In 1544 she married Lamoral, Count of Egmont with whom she had twelve children. When her husband was arrested and accused of treason in 1567, she wrote a letter to King Philip II, the King of Spain, to plead for his release. Her letter did not change her husband's fate and he was decapitated in the following year.

• Charles, 7th Count of Egmont, Prince de Gavre: married to Marie de Lens, Lady of Aubigny.

After her death in 1578, she was buried next to her husband in Egmont's crypt in Zottegem.
