Ingimundr, also known as Ingimund, and Ingemund, was an eleventh-century Norwegian delegate sent by Magnús Óláfsson, King of Norway to take control of the Kingdom of the Isles. The kingdom had descended into utter chaos after the death of Gofraid Crobán, King of the Isles in 1095, with kin-strife amongst the latter's descendants, followed by Irish intervention into the region. Magnús' apparent response was to send Ingimundr to take charge. According to the mediaeval Chronicle of Mann, soon after Ingimundr's arrival in the Isles, he and his followers was slain in Lewis by the leading Islesmen, whilst he was in the midst of securing the kingship. The following year, Magnús took matters into his own hands, and personally oversaw the conquest of the Isles himself.

Ingimundr, also known as Hingamund, Igmunt, Ingimund, was a tenth-century Viking warlord. In 902, Irish sources record that the Vikings were driven from Dublin. It is almost certainly in the context of this exodus that Ingimundr appears on record. He is recorded to have led the abortive settlement of Norsemen on Anglesey, before being driven out from there as well. He appears to have then led his folk to the Wirral peninsula, where the English allowed him to settle his followers. Ingimundr's invasion of Anglesey may be the most notable Viking attack in Welsh history.
