Theudigisel or Theudegisel (in Latin Theudigisclus and in Spanish Teudiselo, Teudigiselo, or Teudisclo) was king of the Visigoths in Hispania for one year (548-549). Some Visigothic king lists skip Theudigisel, as well as Agila, going directly from Theudis to Athanagild.

He was a duke under Theudis and he forced the Franks out after there invasion of 541, cutting them off in the pass of Valcarlos. He accepted a bribe to allow them to return to France after the route.

He was assassinated during a banquet in Seville. His assassination appears to have been the work of certain husbands with whose wives he had been maintaining illicit relations.
