Skynd is the name of a troll in a Danish fairy tale.
The tale was recorded by Just Mathias Thiele in Danmarks folkesagn, who localised it to Skjelverød, near Ringsted, where it was supposedly the origin of the place-name "Kirstens Bjerg" (Kirsten's hill), and in English by Thomas Keightley in his The Fairy Mythology. Edwin Sidney Hartland included it in his The Science of Fairy Tales, as a double example of the power of the knowledge of names. Keightley stated that the tale was "orally related to Mr. Thiele",
The crater Skynd, on Uranus's moon Umbriel, is named after the troll.
