Rufinus is the fragment of the name of a governor of Britannia Superior, a province of Roman Britain probably some time during the early third century AD. He may have been the same man as Aulus Triarius Rufinus who held the consulship in 210 although Quintus Aradius Rufinus who was consul ten or fifteen years later is another possibility. Alternatively he may have been neither of these men.

Flavius Rufinus (c. 335 – November 27, 395) was a fourth century Eastern Roman statesman of Gaulish extraction who served as the Praetorian Prefect for the emperors Theodosius I and Arcadius.
