伦巴底人（拉丁语：Langobardi/意大利语：Longobardi）是日尔曼人的一支，起源于斯堪的纳维亚，今瑞典南部。经过约4个世纪的民族大迁徙，伦巴底人最后到达并占据了亚平宁半岛（今日意大利）的北部。

公元1世纪时，他们已从斯堪的纳维亚迁居于日耳曼尼亚西北部的萨克森一带。当时在公元98年，古罗马历史学家塔西佗早已在其作《日耳曼尼亚志》中有了对那时居住在今日德国易北河下游伦巴底人的记载。5世纪末时，伦巴底人分布到今日所谓奥地利的地区。6世纪初，他们到达潘诺尼亚，今日的匈牙利西部和斯洛伐克。

569年春，在阿尔博因的领导下，伦巴底人联合其他日耳曼族群翻越阿尔卑斯山脉攻占意大利北部。

The Lombards or Longobards (Latin:Langobardi, Italian Longobardi [loŋɡoˈbardi]) were a Germanic people who ruled large parts of the Italian Peninsula from 568 to 774.

The Lombard historian Paul the Deacon wrote in the Historia Langobardorum that the Lombards descended from a small tribe called the Winnili, who dwelt in southern Scandinavia (Scadanan) before migrating to seek new lands. In the 1st century AD, they formed part of the Suebi, in northwestern Germany. By the end of the 5th century, they had moved into the area roughly coinciding with modern Austria north of the Danube river, where they subdued the Heruls and later fought frequent wars with the Gepids. The Lombard king Audoin defeated the Gepid leader Thurisind in 551 or 552; his successor Alboin eventually destroyed the Gepids at the Battle of Asfeld in 567.
