Phriapatius (Persian: فریاپت‎‎ /ˌfrəˈpʃəs/) or Priapatius /ˌprəˈpʃəs/, sometimes called Phriapites /ˌfrˈæptz/, was the king of the Parthian Empire from 185 BC to 170 BC. He was the grandson of Tiridates I (246–211 BC), the brother of Arsaces I (250–211 BC), the founder of the Parthian Empire.

He ruled in the period following the invasion of Parthia by the Seleucid King Antiochus III (223–187 BC).
