Addedomarus was a king of the Trinovantes of south-eastern Britain in the late 1st century BC.

His name is known only from coin legends. His coins indicate he took power ca. 25-15 BC and moved his capital from Braughing in Hertfordshire to Camulodunum (Colchester, Essex). For a brief period (ca. 15 BC|15]]-10 BC he seems to have been supplanted by Cunobelinus of the Catuvellauni, who issued coins from Camulodunum at that time. Addedomarus then regained power and reigned until 10-5 BC, when he was succeeded by his son Dubnovellaunus.
