Theresa Kunegunda (Polish: Teresa Kunegunda Sobieska) (4 March 1676 – 10 March 1730) was an Electress of Bavaria and the Palatinate. She also served as Regent of the Palatinate in 1704–05.

Biography

She was a daughter of the Polish King John III Sobieski and Marie Casimire Louise de la Grange d'Arquien. Theresa Kunegunda Sobieska married Maximilian II Emanuel, elector of Bavaria, on 2 January 1695. She was mother of ten children by her husband, including Holy Roman Emperor Charles VII and Clemens August of Bavaria, Archbishop-Elector of Cologne.

In 1704–05, following the evacuation of the Bavarian court to the Spanish Netherlands after the defeat at the Battle of Blenheim, she apparently was in charge of the government in the Electoral Palatinate as Regent Princess Palatine.

She rests in the Theatine Church in Munich.
