Saint Erentrude, or Erentraud, (?–710) is a virgin saint of the Roman Catholic Church and is the niece of Saint Rupert of Salzburg. Her date and place of birth are unknown but it may be surmised that she was born in present-day Germany or Austria, in the latter-part of the 7th century. She followed her uncle from Worms to Salzburg and was there placed by him as abbess over a convent and orphan home. She died on 30 June 710 – the same year as Saint Rupert.
Her relics are in the crypt of St Mary's church, not far from her convent. Her feast is kept on June 30; and September 4 commemorates the translation of her relics.
