Oda of Saxony (877 - aft. 952) was a Saxon princess. She was the daughter of Otto I, Duke of Saxony[1] and Hedwiga of Babenberg. She married King Zwentibold of Lotharingia[2] and at his death in August 900 (when Oda must have been 23), she contracted a second marriage with Count Gerhard I of Metz.[3] From this union were born:

* Wigfried, abbot of St. Ursula in Cologne, and then archbishop of Cologne from 924 to 953.
* Oda (Uda) of Metz (d. 10 Apr 963), married Gozlin, Count of Bidgau and Methingau (d. 942).[3]
* A daughter of name unknown.
* Godfrey,[4] count of the Jülichgau.
