Tiberius Julius Pharsanzes, also known as Pharsanzes (Greek: ??ß????? ??????? Fa?sa????, flourished 3rd century died 254) was a prince and Roman Client King of the Bosporan Kingdom.
Pharsanzes was the first born son to the Bosporan King Rhescuporis V and his mother was an unnamed woman. He was of Greek, Iranian and Roman ancestry. His younger brothers were princes Synges and Teiranes.
Between 253254, Pharsanzes co-ruled with his father Rhescuporis V. His royal title on coins is in Greek: ??S???OS F??S????? or of King Pharsanzes. During his brief rule, he was a contemporary to the rule of the Roman Emperor Gallienus. There was a possibility that Pharsanzes could have some connections with the Goths. Pharsanzes died in 254 and was succeeded as a co-ruler by his second brother Synges in 258.
