Baduarius () was an East Roman aristocrat, the son-in-law of Byzantine emperor Justin II (r. 565–578 AD). Theophanes the Confessor erroneously calls him a brother of the Emperor.
==Biography== Possibly the son or grandson of a similarly named general active in Scythia Minor in 528, Baduarius is recorded by the Latin epic poet Flavius Cresconius Corippus as having succeeded Justin in his post as curopalates immediately after the latter's rise to the Byzantine throne on November 14, 565. At the time, he was already a holder of the rank of patrikios.
