Clementia of Burgundy (C. 1078-C. 1133) was Countess of Flanders by marriage and acted as regent while her husband was on crusade.

She was the daughter of William I, Count of Burgundy and a noblewoman named Stephanie. Pope Callixtus II was her brother.
In 1097, she married Robert II, Count of Flanders and became Countess of Flanders. When he left to go on the First Crusade, she became regent of Flanders.[1] They had three sons, but only Baldwin survived his father and succeeded him in 1111. Because of his young age, she was co-ruler with her son.
After his death in 1119, she married Godfrey I, Count of Leuven and was perhaps the mother of Joscelin of Louvain. This second marriage made her stepmother to Adeliza of Louvain, Queen of England.
