{{Short description|Aleman dux}}
'''Chrodobert''', '''Crodobert''', or '''Choadebert''' (''Crodobertus'' or ''Chrodobertus'') was an [Aleman](/source/Alamanni) ''[dux](/source/dux)'' of the early seventh century ([fl.](/source/floruit) 631/632). He probably ruled in the south of the region later known as [Swabia](/source/Swabia). 

There is little evidence to suggest the existence of an Aleman duke in the period from {{circa|610}} to c. 630, but [Fredegar](/source/Fredegar) records that around 631 an Alemannic army under duke Chrodobert participated in [Dagobert I](/source/Dagobert_I)'s assault on the [realm of the Slavs](/source/Samo) to the east. The Alemannic host (''exercitus Alamannorum'') was one of the three columns of the [Austrasia](/source/Austrasia)n army (''exercitus regnum universum Austrasiorum''). While the Alemanni won a battle at an unknown location and the [Lombard](/source/Lombards) allies were successful against the Slavs in the [Julian Alps](/source/Julian_Alps), the main army of Austrasian [Franks](/source/Franks) under Dagobert was defeated at the [Battle of Wogastisburg](/source/Battle_of_Wogastisburg). 

Chrodobert's authority in Alemannia probably increased after the succession of [Sigebert III](/source/Sigebert_III) to the throne of Austrasia. 

The relationship between Chrodobert and both earlier and later dukes of the Alemanni is unknown. It is possible that Chrodobert was the same person as the '''Hruodi''' mentioned in the ''passio'' of [Saint Killian](/source/Saint_Killian).
