Mixobarbaroi (, , "semi-/mixed/half barbarians") was an ethnographical term first used in Classical Greece by authors to denote people who lived in the frontiers of the oikoumene, and had qualities of both the civilized peoples and the barbarians, as seen in the works of Euripides, Plato and Xenophon. It would later come to describe mixed Greeks or other people mixed with "barbarians" in the Greek lands of cultural plurality.

Whereas mixobarbaroi usually refers to Greeks who have become "barbarianized", the term mixellenes (μιξέλληνες; semi/mixed-Greeks) appears to mean non-Greeks who have become Hellenized, either by blood or by adopting Greek culture.
