Artoxares (; Old Persian *Artaxšara) (c. 465 BC - after 419 BC) was a Paphlagonian eunuch, who played a central role during the reigns of Artaxerxes I and Darius II of Persia.
According to Ctesias, when he was twenty years old, Artoxares participated in an embassy to the rebel satrap Megabyzus. King Artaxerxes I and the rebel satrap reconciled in around 445 BC. Nevertheless, Megabyzus fell again into disgrace and was exiled to a Persian Gulf town. Artoxares, who had helped Megabyzus to gain the favour of the Persian king, was expelled from the court to Armenia. It has been argued that he actually was appointed as satrap of Armenia, but this is not explicitly stated by Ctesias.
