Taronites (; , feminine form Taronitissa ), was a Byzantine noble family, descended from the ruling family of the Armenian principality of Taron, the Bagratuni dynasty.
It was founded by the brothers Gregory and Bagrat (Pankratios in Greek), who ceded the principality to the Byzantines in 968 in exchange for estates and high dignities.
