Andriscus (, Andrískos; 154/153 BC – 146 BC), also often referenced as Pseudo-Philip, was a Greek pretender who became the last independent king of Macedon in 149 BC as Philip VI (, Philipos), based on his claim of being Philip, a now-obscure son of the last legitimate Macedonian king, Perseus. His reign lasted just one year and was toppled by the Roman Republic during the Fourth Macedonian War.

Andriskos var en man av enkel härkomst som 151 f.kr. utgav sig för att vara son till Perseus av Makedonien. Andriskos ledde ett uppror mot romarna, besegrade en romersk armé och lät sig utropas till kung, men besegrades därefter själv 148 f.Kr. Som en följd av upproret förvandlades Makedonien till en romersk provins.
