Eleanor of Aragon (20 January 1358 – 13 August 1382) was a daughter of King Peter IV of Aragon and his wife Eleanor of Sicily. Her maternal grandfather was Peter II of Sicily.

Her brother became Juan I, King of Aragon. She was born at Santa Maria del Puig and died at Cuéllar. On 18 June 1375, at Soria, she became Queen consort of Castile by marrying King John I of Castile.

Their eldest son Enrique (1379–1406) became King Henry III of Castile and his younger brother Fernando (1380–1416) ultimately was elected to inherit Eleanor's native Aragon in 1412, becoming King Ferdinand I of Aragon.
