thumb|A depiction of Sigrún with Helgi Hundingsbane (1919) by Robert Engels. right|thumb|Sigrun waiting by Helgi's barrow Sigrún (Old Norse "victory rune") is a valkyrie in Norse mythology. Her story is related in Helgakviða Hundingsbana I and Helgakviða Hundingsbana II, in the Poetic Edda. The original editor annotated that she was Sváfa reborn.

The hero Helgi Hundingsbane first meets her when she leads a band of nine Valkyries: {| | 15. Þá brá ljóma af Logafjöllum, en af þeim ljómum leiftrir kómu, -- -- -- hávar und hjalmum á Himinvanga, brynjur váru þeira blóði stokknar, en af geirum geislar stóðu. | 15. Then glittered light from Logafjoll, And from the light the flashes leaped; - High under helms on heaven's field; Their byrnies all with blood were red, And from their spears the sparks flew forth. | |}
