This is a list of princesses and grand princesses consort of Kiev, the wives of the (grand) princes of Kiev (modern Kyiv).
Oleg the Wise was the first undisputed "prince of Kiev",[1] although nothing is known of his wife (or wives). Yaroslav the Wise was the first undisputed "grand prince of Kiev".[2] Therefore, Kievan princely wives before 1019 are known as princesses consort, and after 1019 as grand princesses consort of Kiev.
