Hilderic (Latin: Flavius Hildericus; original form possibly Hildirix) (c. 460–533) was the penultimate king of the Vandals and Alans in North Africa in Late Antiquity, ruling from 523–530. Although dead by the time the Vandal Kingdom was overthrown in 534, he nevertheless played a key role in that event.
