Richeza of Lotharingia (also called Richenza, Rixa, Ryksa; born about 995/1000 – died Saalfeld, 21 March 1063), was a German noblewoman by birth, a member of the Ezzonen dynasty.

Richeza received Saalfeld, a possession that didn't belong to the Lower Rhine area in which the Ezzonen dynasty tried to build a coherent dominion.
