Ardabur (Ἀρδαβούρ, died 471) was an Eastern Roman magister militum of Alanic descent. He was the son of the influential general Aspar.[1] He served as consul in 447 and as magister militum per Orientem from 453 until 465 or 466. Ardabur apparently often served under his father during his campaigns.[2]

He was removed from this post in 466 after being accused of a treasonous plot involving the Sasanian Empire, probably by his father's political enemies.[2] The accusation contributed to Aspar's fall from power. Both Ardabur and Aspar were killed in 471 as part of a conspiracy between the Isaurians and the emperor Leo I.[3]
