Polyxenidas () the Rhodian, was a general and admiral who was exiled from his native country and entered the service of Antiochus III the Great.
He is first mentioned in 209 BC, when he commanded a body of Cretan mercenaries for Antiochus III during the Battle of Mount Labus. In 192 BC, when the Syrian king had determined upon war with the Roman Republic, and crossed over into Greece to commence it, Polyxenidas obtained the chief command of his fleet. After co-operating with Menippus in the reduction of Chalcis, he was sent back to Asia to assemble additional forces during the winter.
