Eremburga of Mortain (Eremburge de Mortain) was the second wife of Count Roger I of Sicily and thus the second Sicilian countess. She is very obscure and details of her life are almost unknown to us today.

Her father was either William, Count of Mortain or Robert d'Eu, and if he was Eremburga's father, then her mother was called Beatrix.

It is possible that Felicia of Sicily, mother of Stephen II of Hungary, was Eremburga's daughter, and Geoffrey, Count of Ragusa was maybe Eremburga's son. Another possible Eremburga's child was Princess Muriel.

According to Goffredo Malaterra, Eremburga died in 1089.
