La Bella Ingeborg (Valborg Elisabeth Gröning, but often referred to as Bojan), (Gävle 3 April 1890 - 24 December 1970) was a Swedish circus princess, introduced as "The Prodigy Child".

Ingeborg was born into poverty and put up for adoption at the age of four by circus artists Julia Andersson and Knut Lindberg. At age 15, she married a circus clown, Charles Bazola. They travelled around the world performing with the circus Fortuna & Bazola.
