Adrianus (Gr. ) was a Greek poet who wrote an epic poem on the history of Alexander the Great, which was called the Alexandriad (). What is chiefly known of this poem comes from a mention of the seventh book in the Suda,Stephanus of Byzantium, s v. but only a fragment consisting of one line survives.Stephanus of Byzantium, s.v. The Suda mentions, among other poems, a work by a poet "Arrianus" called Alexandriad or ,Suda, s.v. and there can be no doubt that this is the work of Adrianus, which is mistakenly attributed to this "Arrianus".Meineke, in the Abhandl. der Berlin. Akademie, 1832, p. 124
