Princess Eudoxia of Bulgaria (Bulgarian: Княгиня Евдокия; 5 January 1898 – 4 October 1985) was the eldest daughter and third child of King Ferdinand I of Bulgaria and Princess Marie Louise of Bourbon-Parma.

After 9 September 1944, Princess Eudoxia was arrested and tortured by the Communists.She was released and allowed to flee the country with the rest of the royal family.

She later settled in Germany, where she lived close to her sister Princess Nadezhda.She died on 4 October 1985, at the age of 87.
