Aginha of Arga (Portuguese: Santo Aginha or Óginha) was a probably legendary figure that is venerated as a Christian saint in Caminha, Portugal. Before his conversion to Christianity, Aginha had been a violent robber and murderer who preyed on pedestrians in the Arga Mountains.

The liturgical feast of Saint Aginha was part of the Sanctorale of the Rite of Braga until its removal in the 20th century; he was never included in the General Roman Calendar for universal use.
