Licinius Valerianus Minor (died 268) was the second son of Roman emperor Valerian and half-brother of emperor Gallienus. His mother may have been named Cornelia Gallonia.

Life In a nundinium sometime between 253 and 264, he was made suffect consul and was appointed ordinary consul in 265.Jones, A. H. M.; Martindale, J. R.; Morris, J, The Prosopography of the later Roman Empire, Vol. I, AD 260-395 (1971), pgs 939 & 1046 He likely functioned as a high-ranking dynastic presence in Rome to maintain his family's political grip on the Senate and appease the Roman aristocracy. He died in the wake of his brother's assassination in the autumn of 268 when he was consul with his relative Marinianus, in a purge against Gallienus' partisans; Joannes Zonaras reported that he was killed at Rome, whereas Eutropius and the Historia Augusta state that he was murdered at Mediolanum.Jones & Martindale, pg. 939
