Margaret, Queen of Norway (d. 1209), also known as Margareta Eriksdotter, queen consort of Sverre of Norway, was the daughter of the Swedish king Eric the Saint and Christina Bjornsdatter.

In 1189, she married the Norwegian king Sverre. After his death, she retired to her estates in Västergötland and Värmland, but was forced to leave her daughter Kristina Sverresdotter behind in Norway.

On January 1, 1204, two days after she had returned to Norway, her stepson, King Haakon Sverresson, died with obvious symptoms of poisoning. Margareta became a suspect of the crime, and one of her servants tried to prove her innocence in a trial by ordeal, which failed. The servant was drowned and Margareta fled back to Sweden. She was back in Norway in 1209, when her daughter married Filip Simonsson, the king of the Bagler.

Margareta Eriksdotter, död 1209, var norsk drottning, dotter till kung Erik den helige av Sverige och Kristina Björnsdotter. Hon giftes 1185 med Sverre Sigurdsson av Norge.

1204 beskylldes Margareta, som hade en dotter, Kristin Sverresdotter, för att förgiftat sin styvson, kung Håkon Sverresson. För att befria sig från misstankar beslöt hon att underkasta sig ordalprövningen järnbörd, men hon var inte tvungen att genomföra prövningen själv utan kunde överlåta detta till ett ombud. Den man som genomförde prövningen och bar det glödgade järnet i sina händer, i Margaretas ställe, brändes svårt och dränktes av kungens män. Margareta själv flydde till Sverige.
