Saint Íñigo of Oña (Spanish: San Enecón, San Íñigo) (Latinised Enecus or Ignatius) (d. 1057) was the Benedictine abbot of San Salvador at Oña. During his episcopate his abbey was gifted with the jurisdiction over San Juan de Pancorvo in 1046 and San Juan, Santa María, y San Martín de Alfania in 1048, by García V of Navarre, in whose territory Oña lay at the time.

Ignatius of Loyola was named after him.
