Tibold (Tybold or Tibolch) was the name of a gens (Latin for "clan"; nemzetség in Hungarian) in the Kingdom of Hungary, and later in the Kingdom of Croatia. The namesake founder of the kindred, Theobald, arrived from the Kingdom of Germany in the late 10th century, during the reign of Géza, Grand Prince of the Hungarians. The clan held lands in Somogy and Križevci counties, along the river Drava.
The illustrious Slavonian Szencsei (Svetački; de Zempche) family descended from this clan.
