Hodierna of Jerusalem (c. 1116 – c. 1162) was the countess of Tripoli through her marriage to Raymond II of Tripoli. She ruled the County of Tripoli as regent during the minority of their son Raymond III from 1152 until 1155.
Hodierna was the daughter of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem and sister of Queen Melisende. She may have been betrothed to Count Raymond II of Tripoli already as a child, but did not marry him until the 1130s. Hodierna was a politically active countess and is alleged to have played a part in the disposing of her husband's cousin and rival Bertrand. Her marriage was unhappy because of her husband's jealousy. Hodierna had just left Raymond when he was assassinated in 1152, and she returned to Tripoli to take charge of government in their son's name. After her son assumed power, Hodierna assisted her sister Queen Melisende until the latter's death in 1161. Hodierna died shortly after.
Countess Hodierna remains little known compared to her sisters Queen Melisende and Princess Alice. She has, however, been identified as the princesse lointaine in several troubadour poems and tales and of the works of art inspired them.
