Agnes of Bavaria (1276-1345) was a daughter of Duke Louis II of Upper Bavaria (1229–1294) and his third wife, Matilda of Habsburg (1253–1304).

In 1290, in Donauwörth, she married Henry "the Younger" of Hesse (1265 - 23 August 1298), a son of Landgrave Henry I of Hesse (1244–1308). They had at least one child:

    • In 1303, she remarried to Margrave Henry I of Brandenburg-Stendal (1256–1318). From her second marriage, she had three children:

  • Henry II "the Child" (1308-1320).
  • Sophia (1300-1356), heiress of Landsberg and the County Palatine of Saxony, married in 1327 to Duke Magnus of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (1304–1369).
  • Judith/Jutta (b.1302-b.1330), married in 1318 to Duke Henry II, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg of Brunswick-Grubenhagen (b.1296–a.1351).
