Batilde (pia: Bealdhild, Balthild, Bathilda, Bauthieult, Baudour; 627/627 - 680 hivi), alikuwa mke wa mfalme wa Burgundy, Klovis II[1][2], ingawa aliwahi kuuzwa kama mtumwa.

Mt. Batilde.

Hata baada ya kuwa malkia, alibaki mnyenyekevu na kupenda kusaidia maskini na kukomboa watoto watumwa, mbali ya kujenga monasteri mbalimbali chini ya kanuni ya Benedikto wa Nursia na desturi za Wakolumbani wa Luxeuil[3][4]. Alipofiwa mumewe, aliongoza vizuri nchi kwa niaba ya mtoto wake, bado mdogo, na kuzuia biashara ya watumwa.

Miaka ya mwisho aliishi monasterini kwa kufuata kikamilifu sheria za umonaki.

Tangu kale anaheshimiwa na Kanisa Katoliki na Waorthodoksi kama mtakatifu, hasa kisha kutangazwa na Papa Nikolasi I (880)[5].

Sikukuu yake huadhimishwa tarehe 30 Januari[6][7].
