The Rural Municipality of Bifrost is a former rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

It was located in Manitoba's Interlake Region along the west shore of Lake Winnipeg. It had a population of about 2,750. Its name comes from the Bifröst in Norse mythology, which is the rainbow bridge connecting Asgard and Midgard (Earth).

Originally incorporated as a rural municipality in 1907, the RM of Bifrost ceased to exist on January 1, 2015, following its provincially mandated amalgamation with the Village of Riverton to form the Municipality of Bifrost – Riverton.
