Richenza (also spelled as Richeza or Richza) (c. 1025 – before 1083) was a German noblewoman. By her first marriage she was Countess of Werl. By her second marriage she was Countess of Northeim and from 1061 to 1070 Duchess of Bavaria.She is known as Richenza of Swabia based on the theory that she was a daughter of Duke Otto II of Swabia. However that theory is hard to maintain with the current state of research.
