Constance of York (c. 1374 - 29 November 1416) was the only daughter of Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York and his wife Isabella of Castile, Duchess of York, daughter of Peter I of Castile and Maria de Padilla.
On about 7 November, 1379, Constance married Thomas le Despenser (22 September 1373 - 16 January 1400). He would be eventually beheaded at Bristol.
She was involved in an affair with Edmund Holland, 4th Earl of Kent and had a daughter by him, Eleanor de Holand. Eleanor was later married to James Tuchet, 5th Baron Audley.
When she died in 1416, she was buried at the High altar in Reading Abbey.
Her daughter Isabel le Despenser married Richard de Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick. They were parents to Henry de Beauchamp, 1st Duke of Warwick and Anne Beauchamp.
Her life is the subject of Brian Wainwright's novel 'Within the Fetterlock.'
