Flavius Olybrius was an aristocrat of the Eastern Roman Empire and sole consul for the year 491. He is sometimes referred to as "Olybrius Junior" in the sources, probably referencing his young age. Olybrius was through his mother Anicia Juliana a descendant of the conjoined Valentinianic and Theodosian dynasties, and the grandson of the emperor Olybrius and the great-grandson of Western Roman Emperor Valentinian III. He was also a potential augustus on the death of the Eastern Roman Emperor Zeno of the Leonid dynasty.
