Tattenai (or Tatnai or Sisinnes; Tattǝnay; Tâttannu or 𒋺𒄨𒉡 Tattannu) was a biblical character named as the Persian governor of the province west of the Euphrates River during the time of Zerubbabel and the reign of Darius I.

In some English translations he was governor "on this side of the river"; other translations place his province "beyond the river".
