Seaxburh was a wife of Cenwalh of Wessex who according to tradition ruled Wessex as queen for a year following Cenwalh s death in 674.

He had previously been married to a sister of Penda of Mercia . The date at which they married is unknown and no children of their marriage are recorded, although it may be that Seaxburh ruled as regent for an unknown son, a practice well attested in the Frankish Empire , where queens such as Brunhilda of Austrasia Brunhilde and Fredegund wielded power on behalf of their sons and grandsons.
