Roderic (also spelled Ruderic, Roderik, Roderich, or Roderick; Spanish and , ; died July 711) was the Visigothic king in Hispania between 710 and 711. He is well known as "the last king of the Goths". He is an obscure figure about whom little can be said with certainty. He was the last Goth to rule from Toledo, but not the last Gothic king, a distinction which belongs to Ardo.
