Palladas (; fl. 4th century AD) was a Greek poet, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt.

== Life == All that is known about Palladas has been deduced from his 151 epigrams preserved in the Greek Anthology (Anthologia graeca); another twenty-three appear in that collection under his name, but his authorship is suspect. His poems describe the persona of a pagan schoolteacher resigned to life in a Christian city, and bitter about his quarrelsome wife.
