Ethelweard (in antico inglese: Æðelweard; Regno del Wessex, 902 – 2 agosto 924) è stato un sovrano inglese, secondogenito di Edoardo il Vecchio.
Æthelweard (... – 854) fu re dell' Anglia orientale a metà del IX secolo . Come per il suo predecessore Æthelstan I, le testimonianze storiche del suo regno sono molto limitate, comunque prove numismatiche suggeriscono che fosse un sovrano indipendente dal regno di Mercia o del Wessex .
Æthelweard (also Ethelward; d. c. 998) was an ealdorman and the author of a Latin version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle known as the Chronicon Æthelweardi. He was a kinsman of the royal family, being a descendant of the Anglo-Saxon King Æthelred I of Wessex, the elder brother of Alfred the Great .

Aethelweard (died 998?) was an English chronicler and likely ealderman of the western provinces (probably the whole of Wessex), a descendant of King Alfred’s brother Aethelred. He wrote, in elaborate and peculiar Latin, a chronicle for his continental kinswoman, Matilda, abbess of Essen.
Æthelweard (died 854) was a 9th-century king of East Anglia, the long-lived Anglo-Saxon kingdom which today includes the English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. Little is known of Æthelweard's reign and even his regnal dates are not known for certain.
In this context, attention may also be drawn to Æthelweard's choice of the word orcus for ‘death’ (instead of mors) in his version of the Cynewulf and Cyneheard episode, in the context of dominus ‘retainer’ ( Chronicon, ed. Campbell, , p. 23: ‘Post dominum desiderant orcum, nee promissis attendunt’).
