Tiberius Claudius Atticus Herodes (Greek: Τιβέριος Κλαύδιος Άττικός Ήρώδης; 65   before 160) was a Greek aristocrat of the Roman Empire. Born into a wealthy family, his father was proscribed by Domitian, had his fortune confiscated, and was exiled or executed. Claudius Atticus restored his family's influence, becoming a senator and suffect consul in 133. His son, Herodes Atticus, erected a statue of him at the Nymphaeum of Herodes Atticus in Olympia.
