Gavril Radomir (Bulgarian: Гаврил Радомир) was the ruler of Bulgaria from October 1014 to August or September 1015. He was the son of Samuil of Bulgaria, and he came to the throne following his father's death.
Around the same time that Emperor Basil II captured the bulk of Samuil's army, Gavril and his forces defeated the army of Teofilakt Votaniat. Having inherited Samuil's war with the Byzantine Empire, Gavril Radomir raided Byzantine territory, reaching as far as Constantinople. Unfortunately for him, however, the Byzantines secured the assistance of his cousin Ivan Vladislav, whose life Radomir had once saved. Ivan murdered Radomir while hunting near Ostrovo, and then took the throne for himself.
Gavril Radomir married twice. Gavril Radomir's son, Peter (II) Delyan of Bulgaria, would play a role in attempting to secure independence for Bulgaria several decades later. For his purported daughter Agatha, see Agatha, wife of Edward the Exile.
