Il termine boiardo (anche boardo, o boiaro), tra il X e il XVII secolo in Russia, e fino al XX secolo in Romania, indicava un feudatario dell'alta aristocrazia che aveva sotto il suo dominio dei territori e feudi particolarmente estesi, e che era piazzato, in termini di influenza e risorse, al di sopra di ogni altro nobile e al di sotto solo della classe reale.
