Urd was a Norwegian women's magazine that existed from 1897 to 1958.

It was named after Urðr, a guardian of the Yggdrasil in Norse mythology. It was founded by sisters Cecilie and Anna Bøe, and Anna was the editor-in-chief until 1933, whereas Cecilie had responsibility for finance.[1] The magazine was marked by a higher content of art and culture than many other women's magazines, and had a distinct faith in progress, and a Christian profile. It became defunct in 1958 due to weak finances.[2]
