Emerentiana var en jungfrumartyr som stenades till döds cirka år 304. Hon vördas som helgon inom Romersk-katolska kyrkan. Hennes minnesdag firas den 23 januari.
Enligt legenden var hon fostersyster till Agnes. Emerentiana stenades till döds av hedningar, då hon påträffades i bön vid Agnes grav.
I norra Rom finns en modern kyrka helgad åt Emerentiana – Sant'Emerenziana.

The Royal Gold Cup or Saint Agnes Cup is a solid gold covered cup lavishly decorated with enamel and pearls. It was made for the French royal family at the end of the 14th century, and later belonged to several English monarchs, before spending nearly 300 years in Spain. Since 1892 it has been in the British Museum, and is generally agreed to be the outstanding survival of late medieval French plate.
