Theudoald, also Theodald, lat. Theudoaldus (* 708; † probably 715) was an illegitimate son of Grimoald the Younger, Hausmeier of Neustria (714/715 - 26 September 715), and an unknown woman. He is a great prince of the Arnulf of Metz.

His father was murdered in 714. When his grandfather, Pippin, was dying at the end of the same year, his wife Plectrud persuaded him to appoint her young grandson Theudoald to be a housewife instead of one of Pippin's illegitimate sons, Childebrand and Karl. Pippin accepted, weakened by the disease, so that the six-year-old Theudoald, in the short term, held the housemeat in 714/715. Plectrud was defeated by her step-son Karl Martell in the struggle for power. Theudoald's whereabouts are uncertain, it would also be possible that he was killed after his fall 715. Nothing is known about a marriage or offspring; probably also very unlikely. Edit source text
