Claude von Riegan is one of the main characters in Fire Emblem: Three Houses (2019) and its spin-off Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (2022), both of which are part of the tactical role-playing video game franchise Fire Emblem. He is the heir of the Leicester Alliance and the leader of the Golden Deer at Garreg Mach Monastery, alongside Edelgard von Hresvelg of the Black Eagles and Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd of the Blue Lions. His house is one of the houses the protagonist, Byleth, can serve as a professor to.
While Claude is an outgoing and laid-back individual, he is also known to be a remarkable cunning and genius strategist with a strong motive to open the borders of Fódlan to other nations such as Almyra, a rivaling kingdom that has conflict with the Leicester Alliance. It is later revealed that he's half-Almyrian, as he is actually Prince Khalid, the son of the King of Almyra and Queen Tiana, the daughter of Duke Oswald von Riegan.
Following his appearance, Claude had received a positive reception from fans and critics alike.
