Basilio I (en griego: Βασίλειος, 836?-29 de agosto de 886), llamado el Macedonio o el Grande, fue emperador bizantino desde el año 867 hasta su muerte. Nació en una familia asentada en Charioupolis (Thema de Macedonia), pero los historiadores discrepan sobre su origen étnico; la genealogía elaborada durante su reinado lo considera de origen armenio, mientras que las fuentes árabes lo denominan eslavo; sin embargo, la primera le asigna un origen real (arsácida, descendiente de Tiridates) y para los segundos todo macedonio era, por sí mismo, un eslavo.
