Artavasdes I of Armenia (also called Artavazd, Armenian: Արտավազդ Առաջին) (reigned 160 BC-115 BC) was the son of Artaxias I and Queen Satenik.
Artavasdes repelled several attempts by Parthians to invade Armenia but was eventually defeated by Mithridates, who annexed parts of Eastern Armenia and took his son, Tigranes the Great as hostage.
