Felicia of Roucy (d. 1123?) was a daughter of Hilduin III of Montdidier and his wife Alice of Roucy.
She married in 1076 to Sancho RamÃrez, then king of Aragon after he had divorced his first wife, Isabel of Urgel. His accession to the crown of Navarre later that year made her the first Aragonese consort to also be Queen consort of Navarre. She is attested shortly before her husband's death and if thought to have outlived Sancho (the supposed subsequent marriage of Sancho to a third wife, Philippa of Toulouse, appearing in a late chronicle, is now thought to be erroneous).
Felicia give birth to two sons, Alfonso and Ramiro, who both followed her step-son Peter I of Aragon and Navarre in Aragon (Alfonso also in Navarre), and through Ramiro's only daughter Petronila of Aragon, she was ancestor of the later rulers of Aragon.
