TheCodex Laud, orLaudianus, (catalogued asMS. Laud Misc. 678,Bodleian Library in Oxford) is a sixteenth-centuryMesoamerican codex named forWilliam Laud, an English archbishop who was the former owner. It is from theBorgia Group, and is a pictorial manuscript consisting of 24 leaves (48 pages) from Central Mexico, dating from before the Spanish takeover. It is evidently incomplete (part of it is lost).

In its content, it is similar toCodex Bodley andCodex Borgia. It is published (with an "Introduction" by C. A. Burland) in Volume XI ofCODICES SELECTI of theAkademische Druck- u. Verlagsanstalt, Graz.

The Bodleian Library holds four otherMesoamerican codices:Codex Bodley,Codex Mendoza,Codex Selden and theSelden Roll.
