Ríg-Jarl or Jarl is a figure in Norse mythology.

Ríg-Jarl or Jarl was a son of the god Ríg. His wife Erna bore him eleven sons, the ancestors of the race of warriors in Norse society.

In one version of the Jarl myth found in the Norse poem, Lay of Ríg, Jarl is symbolic of the leisure class. Ríg visited and boarded with three different households: a poor couple, a common couple, and a wealthy couple. After each visit, the woman was pregnant and bore a son nine months later. Jarl was the son of the wealthy couple, who had provided Ríg with a fine meal during his visit.^[1]
