Mathilde of Saarbrücken (1224-1276), was a sovereign countess regnant of Saarbrücken from 1271 to 1276.
She was the youngest daughter of Simon III, Count of Saarbrücken, who was succeeded upon his death by her sister Lauretta. Lauretta had one daughter and one son, but as both died early, she was succeeded by her younger sister, Mathilde. She married Simon III? of Commercy (d.c. 1247),[1] son of Gaucher I (fr) (c.1185 - 1244/48), Seigneur of Broyes-Commercy. It is not clear if Simon actually was a Seigneur of Commercy, but at least the title came to his descendants.
