Laura of Cordoba (Spanish: Santa Laura de Córdoba; died 864) was a Spanish Christian who lived in Muslim Spain during the 9th century.
She was born in Córdoba, and became a nun at Cuteclara after her husband died, eventually rising to become an abbess.
Legend states that she was martyred by Muslims, who took her captive and scalded her to death by placing her in a vat of boiling pitch.
Thomas Love Peacock wrote a ballad about Saint Laura in his work Gryll Grange.
