Earth Rightful Ruler (sometimes also sold as Earth's Rightful Ruler or Earth Rightful Ruler: Emperor Haile Selassie I) is a reggae studio album by Augustus Pablo, originally released in 1982 on Message Records.

It features vocals from Hugh Mundell, Robbie Shakespeare on bass guitar, and Earl "Chinna" Smith on guitar. Pablo produced the album and played melodica, piano, organ and steel strings.

It was recorded at both Harry J and Channel One Studios in Kingston, Jamaica and mixed at Harry J's.

The title of the album is in reference to Haile Selassie I, the former Emperor of Ethiopia and a messianic figure to Rastafarians.
