Pippin of Landen, also known as Pippin the Elder (580 - 640), was the Frankish Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia under the Merovingian kings Clotaire II, Dagobert I and Sigebert III from 615 or 623 to 629.
Though Pippin was never canonized, he is listed as a saint in some old martyrologies.
He had two daughters:
- Begga, who married Ansegisel, the son of Arnulf, Bishop of Metz. The son of this marriage, Pippin the Middle, was Charlemagne's great-grandfather.
- Gertrude (625 - 17 March 659) - Burried in the convent of Nijvel founded by her mother Itta. She was later canonised as a saint and is usually portrayed accompanied with mice.
and a son:
- Grimoald, Mayor of the Palace of the Austrasia from 650 to 661
