The Parni (; , Parnoi), Aparni (; Ἄπαρνοι, Aparnoi) or Parnians were an East Iranian people who lived around the Ochus ( Okhos) (Tejen) River, southeast of the Caspian Sea in Central Asia. It is believed that their original homeland may have been what is now southern Russia in Eastern Europe, from where they emigrated with other Scythian tribes. The Parni were one of the three tribes of the Dahae confederacy.
