The Radziwiłł Chronicle, also known as the Königsberg Chronicle, is a collection of illuminated manuscripts from the 15th-century; it is believed to be a copy of a 13th-century original. Its name is derived from the Radziwiłł family of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (later, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth), who kept it in their Nesvizh Castle in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Radziwiłł manuscript was taken out of Königsberg in 1761 and acquired by the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, where it is currently preserved with registration number "34.5.30".

The work tells the history of Kievan Rus' and its neighbors from the fifth to the early 13th centuries in pictorial form, representing events described in the manuscript with more than 600 colour illustrations. Among East Slavic chronicles, the Radziwiłł is distinguished for the richness and quantity of its illustrations, which may derive from the 13th-century original.

The Radziwiłł Chronicle (Rad.) has the following textual structure:

a copy of the Primary Chronicle (Povest' vremmenykh let' (PVL), "Tale of Bygone Years") until the year 1116, the text of which groups it with the Laurentian Codex (Lav.), the Academic Chronicle (Aka.), and the remnants of the lost Trinity Chronicle (Tro.);
a text similar to the Kievan Chronicle from 1118 to the mid-1170s, also known as the "southern Rus' source" (sometimes considered part of the Suzdalian Chronicle in the broadest sense);
a copy of the Suzdalian Chronicle from the mid-1170s to 1203, the text of which has been very similarly preserved in the Laurentian Codex (Lav.), the Academic Chronicle (Aka.), and the Chronicler of Pereyaslavl-Suzdal (LPS); and
a continuation from 1203 until the year 1206; a virtually identical continuation for 1203–1206 has preserved in the Academic Chronicle (Aka.). This text is based on records of the city of Vladimir on the Klyazma.
