Gertrude of Hohenzollern (c. 1225 – 16 February 1281) was the first wife of Rudolph I of Germany.
Gertrude was born to Burkhard V, Count of Hohenberg (d. 1253), and his wife, Matilda of Tübingen. In 1245, she married Rudolph IV, Count of Habsburg. They had nine children:
- Matilda (ca. 1251/53, Rheinfelden – 23 December 1304, Munich), married 1273 in Aachen to Louis II, Duke of Bavaria and became mother of Rudolf I, Count Palatine of the Rhine and Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor.
- Albert I of Germany (July 1255 – 1 May 1308), Duke of Austria and also of Styria.
- Catherine (1256–4 April 1282, Landshut), married 1279 in Vienna to Otto III, Duke of Bavaria who later (after her death) became the disputed King of Hungary and left no surviving issue.
- Agnes (ca. 1257–11 October 1322, Wittenberg), married 1273 to Albert II, Duke of Saxony and became the mother of Rudolf I, Elector of Saxony.
- Hedwig (d. 1285/86), married 1270 in Vienna to Otto VI, Margrave of Brandenburg and left no issue.
- Klementia (ca. 1262–1301), married 1281 in Vienna to Charles Martel of Anjou, the Papal claimant to the throne of Hungary and mother of king Charles I of Hungary, as well as of queen Clementia of France, herself the mother of the baby king John I of France.
- Hartmann (1263, Rheinfelden – 21 December 1281), drowned in Rheinau.
- Rudolph II, Duke of Austria and Styria (1270 – 10 May 1290, Prague), titular Duke of Swabia, father of John the Patricide of Austria.
- Gutta von Habsburg (13 March 1271 – 18 June 1297, Prague), married 24 January 1285 to King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia and became the mother of king Wenceslaus III of Bohemia, Poland and Hungary, of queen Anne of Bohemia (1290–1313), duchess of Carinthia, and of queen Elisabeth of Bohemia (1292–1330), countess of Luxembourg.
- Charles (1276–1276)
Her husband was elected King of Germany in Frankfurt on 29 September 1273, largely due to the efforts of her cousin Frederick III, Burgrave of Nuremberg. Rudolph was crowned in Aachen on 24 October 1273. She served as his Queen consort for the following eight years.
She died in Vienna, early in 1281. Rudolph remained a widower for three years and proceeded to marry Isabelle of Burgundy.
