Eadulf Rus (fl. 1080) was an 11th-century Northumbrian noble. He was the first to take the name Swinton, having been granted the barony by his cousin, Malcolm III of Scotland, in return for military support - thus making this one of the oldest extant surnames in the British Isles. He was either the son or grandson of Gospatric (son of Uhtred the Bold), possibly the man who soon after Christmas 1064 was allegedly killed on behalf of Tostig, Earl of Northumbria.
