Isolde Josefa Ludovika Beidler (née von Bülow; 10 April 1865 – 7 February 1919) was the first child of the composer Richard Wagner and his wife, who is generally known as Cosima Wagner (though the two of them married only in 1870).

Isolde herself married the Swiss-born conductor Franz Beidler [de] (1872–1930) and was the mother of author Franz Wilhelm Beidler [de] (1901–1981), celebrated at his birth as "Richard Wagner's first grandchild".[1][2][3]
