Sanchia of Provence (c. 1225 – 9 November 1261) was Queen of the Romans from 1257 until her death in 1261 as the wife of King Richard.
Sanchia was the third daughter of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence, and Beatrice of Savoy. She was described as an "incomparable beauty". In 1243 she married Richard, then still an English prince and Earl of Cornwall. After her husband was elected king of the Romans, Sanchia was crowned alongside him at Aachen Cathedral in 1257. Four years later, Queen Sanchia died aged around 36.
