Grizelda Kristiņa (Livonian: Grizelda Kristiņ, née Bertholde; 19 March 1910 – 2 June 2013) was a Livonian and the last speaker of the Livonian language as a mother language. She was born in Vaide (Livonian: Vaid) within the Bertholds family, relevant in the history of the Livonians. She was a relative of Viktors Bertholds, who died in 2009 and for a long time had been believed to be the last speaker of Livonian. After Kristiņa's death, a process for reviving the Livonian language was started.
