Emmo (Emmon) (died 17 January 1078), Count of Looz (1046-1078), son of Gislebert, Count of Looz, and Erlande of Geldenaken.
Some historians believe that Emmo and his brother Otto jointly ruled the county of Looz, but others are skeptical and believe they divided the county, Otto receiving the County of Duras. Emmo's grandfather was Rudolf van Haspinga, Count of Betuwe (predecessors of the Counts of Looz), who married a daughter of Emmo, Count of Hesbaye. Vanderkindere suggested that this accounted for the use of the name Emmo in the generations following Gislebert.
Emmo married Suanhildis, daughter of Dirk III Hierosolymita, Count of Holland, and Othelandis of Nordmarck. Emmo and Suanhildis had four children:
Emmo was succeeded as Count of Looz by his son Arnold upon his death.
