In Norse mythology, Sága or Saga is a goddess of the Æsir and maybe another name for Frigg. The name could mean "seeing one" or (less probable) "announcer". She is mentioned in the Grímnismál.
- Sökkvabekkr heitir inn fjórði,
- en þar svalar knegu
- unnir yfir glymja;
- þar þau Óðinn ok Sága
- drekka um alla daga
- glöð ór gullnum kerum. Grímnismál 7, Guðni Jónsson's edition

- Sökkvabekk the fourth is named
- oe’r which
- the gelid waves resound;
- Odin and Saga there,
- joyful each day,
- from golden beakers quaff. Grímnismál 7, Thorpe's translation

Sökkvabekkr means "hall of sunk benches".
