The Västergötland Runic Inscription 81 is a 12th century runestone engraved in Old Norse with the Younger Futhark runic alphabet. It is in the form of a grave slab and it was found in the old cemetery of Broddetorp in Falköping Municipality, but it is presently located in the Västergötland Museum in Skara.
