Theodora (Greek: Θεοδώρα, Theodōra) may refer to:

     Theodora of Alexandria was a saint and Desert Mother who was married to a prefect of Egypt. In order to perform penance for a sin she committed, she disguised herself as a   
     man and joined a monastery in Thebaid. Her true identity as a woman was discovered only after her death.
     A rare image of Theodora in Western art is a print by Bernardino Capitelli, made in 1627 for Theodora Costa dal Pozzo, showing St Theodora of Alexandria disguised as a monk 
     and caring for the child that she was accused of fathering (Vienna: Graphische Sammlung Albertina).
