The Barbarossa (Japanese: バルバロッサ Barbarossa) is an advanced lord-like class which debuted in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. The class is exclusive to Claude, one of the game's protagonists, serving as an upgraded version of his previous Wyvern Master class.

Like the Wyvern Master, the Barbarossa is very fast and mobile, and has good strength and defense as well. Its specialty in bows combined with its already great mobility grant it a very large effective attack range. It additionally has enhanced prowess in charm and authority, making it effective at commanding battalions and using gambits.
