Roderich (spanisch Rodrigo; † zwischen 19. und 26. Juli 711 am Guadalete) war von 710 bis 711 König der Westgoten in Hispanien. In der Legende wurde er als letzter Gotenkönig bekannt. Der größte Teil seines Lebens liegt im Dunkeln. Er kam als Gegner der Familie seines Vorgängers Witiza an die Macht und war unter den Adligen umstritten. Seine Niederlage gegen ein arabisch-berberisches Heer in der Schlacht am Río Guadalete, in der er fiel, führte zum Untergang des Westgotenreichs.
