Ricfried was a 9th and 10th century count in Betuwe (Batavia) now in the Netherlands, possibly into parts of the Rhineland now in Germany.
Historians sometimes refer to his family as the "Balderics" because both his son and grandson were bishops named Balderic. Partly for this reason it has been proposed by historians such as Leon Vanderkindere that he may be an ancestor of the Counts of Loon (Looz) in modern Belgian Limburg, because this family also included a bishop named Balderic.
