Cymburgis, also Cimburgis, Zimburgis, Cimburga, or Cymbarka of Masovia (born in 1394 or 1397 in Warsaw; died on September 28, 1429 in Türnitz, Lower Austria) from the Piast and Gediminaiciai dynasty, was the wife of Ernest the Iron and thus a Duchess of Austria from of the Styrian–Inner Austrian line.

As the mother of Emperor Frederick III she became the ancestor of all later Habsburgs, as only his line of the family survived in male line. Although unlikely, it has been claimed that she brought the famous Habsburg lip into the family, a particular physical characteristic of most members of the family for many generations until the 18th century. It can even be recognized in some of her distant descendants today (though not as markedly), e.g. in King Juan Carlos I of Spain. Cimburgis statue in Hofkirche church (Innsbruck), doesn't show this feature.^[1]

She was also known for her exceptional strength, which she showed by e.g. pulling iron nails from walls with bare hands.^{[citation needed]} Strength also distinguished one of her descendants, August the Strong.
