Patraus (Template:Langx) was king of the ancient kingdom of Paeonia from around 335 until his death in 315 BC.[1] Patraus' relationship with the previous Paeonian king, Lyppeius, is unknown, as are the circumstances surrounding his ascension.[2] Aside from the silver coinage struck in his name, we know nothing for certain about the events of Patraus' reign.[3]

Paeonia was made a Macedonian vassal in 356 during the course of Philip II of Macedon's Balkan campaigns.[4] Although they retained their territory and the right to mint coins, the Paeonians were expected to provide both tribute and manpower for Macedonian military campaigns.[5] Consequently, around 150 cavalrymen, commanded by Ariston, crossed with Alexander III's army into Asia Minor in 334.[3] Ariston may have been a member of the Paeonian ruling house, possibly Patraus' brother, but this is only speculation.[5] Patraus died sometime in 315 and was succeeded by Audoleon.
