Rictrude (Rictrudis, Richtrudis, Richrudis) (c. 614–688) was abbess of Marchiennes Abbey, in Flanders. The main early source for her life is the Vita Rictrudis of Hucbald, commissioned by the abbey, and written in 907 by Hucbald.

She was from a noble family in Gascony. She married Adalbard, later murdered. In Hucbald's account, this is shown deliberately as a model marriage.
Four of her five children were Clotsinda, her daughter and successor as abbess, Adalsinda, Eusebia and Maurantius.
She is a Catholic saint, feast day 12 May. All four children are also saints.
