在北欧神话中，布伦希尔特（Brynhild）是一名女武神（Valkyries）。她是北欧英雄传说《沃尔松格传》(Volsunga saga)和冰岛史诗《埃达》中的主要角色。她以同样的名字出现在日耳曼史诗故事《尼伯龙根之歌》和理乍得·瓦格纳的歌剧「尼伯龙根的指环」中。布伦希尔德的形象可能来源于西哥特人公主奥斯特拉西亚的布伦希尔德，她在公元567年嫁给了墨洛温王朝的希尔德里克一世。布伦希尔德的传说内容包括了兄弟间的互相残杀，长期战争，以及与匈人作战。

Brynhildr (also spelled Brunhild, Brünnhilde, Brynhild) is a shieldmaiden and a valkyrie in Germanic mythology, where she appears as a main character in the Völsunga saga and some Eddic poems treating the same events. Under the name Brünnhilde she appears in the Nibelungenlied and therefore also in Richard Wagner's opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen. She may be inspired by the Visigothic princess Brunhilda of Austrasia. The history of Brynhildr includes fratricide, a long battle between brothers, and dealings with the Huns. She is also known as Sigrdrífa, as written in the poem Sigrdrífumál.
