De heilige Attala of Athalia (690 – Straatsburg, 3 december 741) was een abdis uit de Elzas. Zij was de dochter van graaf Adelbert van de Elzas en van de H. Gerlindis. Door haar tante de H. Odilia werd zij opgevoed in een klooster. Rond 720 werd zij de eerste abdis van het door haar vader gestichte vrouwenklooster van de H. Stephanus in Straatsburg. Zij gold als een voorbeeld van vroomheid en naastenliefde. Haar gedenkdag is op 3 december.

St. Attala, or ATHALA, Dec. :J. f c. 711. Represented having a well near her, or as a corpse with one hand cut off. St. Attala was first abbess of the first monastery in Strasburg. She was the daughter of Adelbert, Duke of Alsace, by his first wife Gerlinda. He had her carefully trained for the duties of an abbess, by his sister ST. ODILA, and in 717, when he built the monastery of St. Stephen, he set her over it. She won the love and reverence of her own convent and of all the inhabitants of Strasburg. So highly was she venerated, that, after death, her body was exposed for five weeks, and the faithful came from all parts to honour her.

The hand was enclosed in a crystal box, and is preserved in tho church of St. Stephen, where it is exhibited on Dec. 5.
