Bard the Bowman is a character in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. A Man of Laketown and a descendant of the ancient Lords of Dale, Bard manages to kill Smaug, the dragon, after which he becomes king of Dale.

Thorin angrily refuses the proposal, while Bilbo chides him for letting greed cloud his judgement.
