Rimgailė (also Rymgajla, Rimgaila, Ringaila, , ; c. 1367 – 1423 or 1430) was a Lithuanian princess of the House of Kęstutis. Daughter of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Kęstutis and Grand Duchess Birutė, sister of Grand Dukes Vytautas the Great and Žygimantas Kęstutaitis, Dukes Butautas and Tautvila, and Masovian Duchess Danutė of Lithuania. Baptismal name Ona.

Rimgailė (feminine) or Rimgailas (masculine) is a typical dual-stemmed pagan Lithuanian name constructed from rim- (rimti - "be calm") + gail- (*gailas - "strong"), which is quite common in Lithuania at present.
