Blessed Beatrix d'Ornacieux (Beatrice of Ornacieux) (c. 1240–1306/09) was a Carthusian nun. Her feast day is 25 November.

Beatrice was a Carthusian nun who founded a settlement of the order at Eymieux in the department of Drôme. According to her Vita, written by Marguerite of Oingt, she was especially devoted to the Passion of Christ^[1] and is said to have driven a nail through her left hand to help herself to realize the sufferings of the Crucifixion.^[2]

Her cultus was confirmed by Pius IX in 1869. (See "Anal. jur. pont.", 1869, XI, 264.) There are modern lives by Bellanger and Chapuis and a full account in Lecoulteux, "Ann. Ord. Cath." (V, 5). Her feast is on 25 November according to the current Carthusian Calendar.
