Eanfrith (died c.674)[1] was the first recorded king of Hwicce in the 7th century. He was the brother of Eanhere, who may have ruled with him.[2] According to Saint Bēda, he was the father of Eafe, wife of Æthelwealh of Sūthseaxe.[3]

Eanfrith died around 674 and was succeeded by Osric, who was likely a son of Eanhere.[4]
