Saint Laura of Cordoba (Spanish: Santa Laura de Crdoba) (died 864) was a Spanish Christian who lived in Muslim Spain during the 9th century. She was born in Crdoba, and became a nun at Cuteclara after her husband died, eventually rising to become an abbess. She was martyred by Muslims who took her captive and scalded her to death by placing her in a vat of boiling lead. Her feast day is on October 19; she is one of the Martyrs of Crdoba. Things named after her include the Estadio Santa Laura ("Saint Laura Stadium") in Santiago, Chile and the Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works in northern Chile.
