Sigtrygg Gnupasson was a king of Denmark of the Swedish House of Olaf who ruled in the 10th century, according to Adam of Bremen and Sweyn II of Denmark.

Sigtrygg was son of Gnupa and the Danish noblewoman Asfrid. He rose to power around 915, and is remembered on the two Sigtrygg Runestones (DR2 and DR4) erected by his mother after his death.

Harthacnut came to Denmark around 916, and according to Adam and his star witness king Sweyn, immediately deposed the young king Sigtrygg. This happened "in the last days of archbishop Hoger", says Adam, and Hoger died around 917.
