Conrad I (c. 1040 – 8 August 1086), Count of Luxembourg, was the first count of 
Luxembourg (1059–1086), succeeding his father Giselbert of Luxembourg.

He was embroiled in an argument with the archbishop of Trier as to the abbaye 
Saint-Maximin in Trier which he had avowed. The archbishop excommunicated him 
and Conrad had to make honourable amends and set out on pilgrimage for Jerusalem. 
He died in Italy on the return journey.
