Agnes of Bavaria (1276-1345) was a daughter of Duke Louis II of Upper Bavaria (1229–1294) and his third wife, Matilda of Habsburg (1253–1304).

In 1290, in Donauwörth, she married Henry "the Younger" of Hesse (1265 - 23 August 1298), a son of Landgrave Henry I of Hesse (1244–1308). They had at least one child:
