Flavius Rumoridus (died 5th century AD) was aRoman soldier who was appointedconsul in AD 403 in theWestern Roman Empire. At the same time, theeastern emperorTheodosius II served in the same capacity in the East.

Rumoridus was ofGermanic origin,^[1][2] and had not converted to Christianity.Ambrose,bishop of Milan, described Rumoridus in a letter toEugenius as maintaining the practice ofethnic religions from earliest childhood.^[3] He began his service as a career military officer, and may have been posted at some point in theDiocese of Thrace.^[4] He was eventually appointed amagister militum underValentinian II in AD 384, was present during the debate regarding the restoration of theAltar of Victory in theCuria Julia.^[5] However, he agreed with Valentinian's eventual order to reject the reinstatement of the altar.^[6]

Although he was probably an old man, in AD 403 Rumoridus was madeconsul in the West at the same time as the infantTheodosius II in the East. It has been suggested by Martindale and Jones that he was recalled to military service as a result of the crisis precipitated by the invasion ofItaly byAlaric and theVisigoths in AD 402, and may have played a part in Alaric's defeat and retreat from Italy in AD 403. His consulship is recorded in several inscriptions, with considerable variety in the spelling of his name.^[7]
