thumb|Sarcophagus of Chrodoara Saint Chrodoara was a Merovingian noblewoman and traditionally the foundress of the Abbey of Amay, now in Wallonia, Belgium.

Chrodoara is thought to have been born around the year 560 in Swabia. She was probably married to Bodegisel-Bobo, the son of Mummolin of Soissons. If so, she was widowed around 589. After the death of her husband she moved to Amay and devoted her wealth and her time to the church and works of charity. She died sometime before the year 634 and was buried in the Church of Saint George in Amay. The church is now called "Saint George and Saint Ode", where Ode or Oda, the name dating from the eleventh century, is identified as Chrodoara. thumb|center|St Ode represented on her shrine in the Amay St George and St Ode church
