Constance of Aragon ( Catalan: Constança d'Aragó; 1343 – 2/18 July 1363), was the first Queen consort of Frederick III the Simple. She was an infanta of Aragon, the eldest child of Peter IV of Aragon [1] and his first wife Maria of Navarre. [2] Her father unsuccessfully proposed her as heir to the throne in early 1347, in the absence of a male heir.

On 8 February 1351 at Perpignan, a betrothal between Constance and Louis I of Anjou, son of King John II of France, was performed. However, the marriage never took place.

On 11 April 1361 at Catania, Constance married King Frederick III of Sicily. [1] They had one daughter, Maria (2 July 1363 - 25 March 1401), [1] who succeeded her father as reigning Queen of Sicily [3] in 1377 [4] and married Martin of Aragon.

In 1363 Constance died in Catania, Sicily, either from the plague, [1] or following childbirth complications. She is buried in the Cathedral of Catania.
