Riri Williams (Ironheart) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Riri Williams, created by Brian Michael Bendis and designed by Stefano Caselli, first appeared in Invincible Iron Man volume 7 #7, written by Bendis and drawn by Mike Deodato.

Williams later starred in the eighth volume of Invincible Iron Man, starting in late 2016, under the codename Ironheart.

Riri Williams is a 15-year-old engineering student who is the daughter of the late Riri Williams Sr. Following Riri Williams Sr.'s death, Riri lived with her mother and Riri Williams Sr.'s sister Sharon. She started attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on scholarship. Working alone, Riri designs a suit of armor similar to the Iron Man armor using material stolen from campus. When campus security knocks at her door, she dons the suit and escapes.

When Williams prevents two inmates from escaping the New Mexico State Penitentiary, her suit is damaged.

Upon returning to her mother's house, Riri continued to work on improving the suit much to the dismay of her mother. Tony Stark hears of Riri's accomplishment and goes to meet her. During their meeting, Tony Stark states to Riri that he will endorse her decision to be a superhero.

Riri Williams has genius-level intellect by the time she was 15 years old. She is also a skilled inventor and engineer.
