Ráðbarðr, Raðbarðr or Rathbarth (late 7th century) was a legendary king of Garðaríki, who appears in Sögubrot and the Lay of Hyndla.

Sögubrot tells that he married the fugitive princess Auðr the Deep-Minded, the daughter of Ivar Vidfamne,{{cite web|url=https://begunov.spb.ru/indexd1eb.html|title=Глава 16.

He died en route, however, and so Ráðbarðr helped Auð's son Harald Wartooth claim his maternal grandfather's possessions in Sweden and Denmark.

Ráðbarðr and Auðr had a son together named Randver.
