Radomir (Cyrillic script: Радомир) is a Slavic masculine given name. The etymology of the original form of the name, Radomer, is from rat (old Slavonic for "war"), and mer ("merit, ability"), i.e. "able warrior". However, modern popular understanding in most Slavic languages would link the name to rad ("care, joy, love") and mir ("peace, world, fame").

The name Radomir is popular in Bulgaria and Serbia. It is also used in the Czech language, with the spelling Radomír.

The feminine form of the name is Radomira. Nicknames for the name include Radek, Radko, Mirek, Mirko, Rado, Racho, Radka (f), Mirka (f). The usual nickname derived from Radomir is Rasha.
