Egbert I (German: Ekbert) (died 11 January 1068) was the Margrave of Meissen from 
1067 until his early death the next year. Egbert was the Count of Brunswick from 
about 1038, when his father, Liudolf, Margrave of Frisia, died. His mother was 
Gertrude, the sister of Pope Leo IX.

Egbert was the scion of the influential Eastphalian family of the Brunonen. He 
inherited the familial lands in Brunswick and from about 1051 he shared the chief 
authority in the region with the Bishop of Hildesheim. Egbert also extended his 
authority and estates into Frisia under the suzerainty of the Archbishop of Hamburg-
Bremen.

Although closely related to the Salian dynasty, Egbert participated in the coup d'état 
of Kaiserswerth in 1062, whereat a group of nobles acting under Anno II, Archbishop 
of Cologne, tried to seize authority in the kingdom from King Henry IV and his regent 
mother, the Empress Agnes.

In 1058, Egbert married Immilla, the daughter of Ulric Manfred II of Turin, and widow 
of Otto of Schweinfurt. His only son, Egbert II, succeeded him in Meissen. His 
daughter Gertrude later brought Meissen to her husband, Henry von Eilenburg.
