imperatore romano d'Occidente (r. 472)
Olybrius was a Roman emperor who ruled the Western Roman Empire for only a few months in 472 CE, though his authority was not recognized by the Eastern Roman Empire's ruler. He was essentially a puppet placed in power by Ricimer, a Germanic military leader who held the real authority, while Olybrius himself focused on religious matters rather than governance.

Flavio Anicio Olibrio (latino: Flavius Anicius Olybrius; Roma, ... – 22 ottobre o 2 novembre 472) è stato imperatore dell'Impero Romano d'Occidente, da aprile o maggio 472 fino alla sua morte, per volere del generale romano di origine barbara Ricimero. Olibrio è considerato un chiaro esempio di un imperatore che in realtà non regnò: furono Ricimero e suo nipote Gundobado a regnare al suo posto, mentre lui era probabilmente interessato alla religione.
