Widukind of Wittekind (743-807) was de leider van het Saksische volk en tegenstander van de Frankische koning Karel de Grote ten tijde van de Saksenoorlogen (772-804). Uiteindelijk won Karel de Grote, voegde het stamhertogdom Saksen toe aan het Frankische Rijk en dwong de bevolking met grof geweld zich te bekeren tot de leer van de Rooms-Katholieke kerk. Hij is de eerste bij naam bekende hertog van het hertogdom Saksen. In latere tijden werd Widukind het symbool van de Saksische onafhankelijkheid en een legendarisch figuur.
