The Sønder Vissing I or DR 55 is a runestone located near Jellinge in Vejle County, Jutland, Denmark.
It dates from the late 10th century and it was raised by Harald Bluetooth's first wife Tofa after her mother.[1] It is consequently one of few runestones raised after a woman.
Tofa was the daughter of Mstivoj, a king of the Obodrites.
