    Ælfweard (died 2 August, 924) was the second known son of Edward the Elder. He succeeded his father as King of Wessex while his older half-brother Athelstan inherited Mercia. Ælfweard, who was probably never crowned, died soon after his father at Oxford.

    Ælfweard may have been succeeded in Wessex by his younger brother Edwin (or Eadwine) as Athelstan was not crowned king of Wessex until 4 September, 925.
