Sibila de Fortià (died 1406), Queen of Aragon, was daughter of Berenguer de Fortià and his wife Francesca de Vilamarí. Sibila belonged to the family of Fortià, of the lower nobility, with possessions in rural Empordà, in the County of Empúries. She was the fourth wife of Peter IV of Aragon. Early life Sibila was said to be a natural beauty in her early adulthood. She married her first husband, Artal de Foces on an unknown date. Upon her widowhood, Sibila became a lady in waiting to Peter's third wife, Eleanor of Sicily, during the royal couple's stay in Sibila's home of Empordà.

Through Isabella, Peter and Sibila are ancestors to Joana, Princess of Portugal and John II of Portugal. Over time, things grew worse. Sibila's family were invited to court, and the king began to favor Sibila's brother, Bernard. Peter, Sibila and her family formed one faction of the court, the other being composed of Peter's son and heir, John, his French wife Violant of Bar, and their followers. Widowhood After Peter died in 1387, John and Violant became King and Queen of Aragon, and they wanted to be rid of Sibila.
