In Norse mythology, Hlǫkk (Old Norse "noise, battle"[1]) is a valkyrie. She is attested as among the 13 valkyries listed in the Poetic Edda poem Grímnismál, and additionally in both Nafnaþulur lists found in the Prose Edda.


Hrist ok Mist
vil ek at mér horn beri,
Skeggjöld ok Skögul,
Hildr ok Þrúðr,
Hlökk ok Herfjötur,
Göll ok Geirölul,
Randgríðr ok Ráðgríðr
ok Reginleif;
þær bera Einherjum öl.[2]


Hrist and Mist
bring the horn at my will,
Skeggjold and Skogul;
Hild and Thruth,
Hlok and Herfjotur,
Gol and Geironul,
Randgrith and Rathgrith
and Reginleif
Beer to the warriors bring.[3]
