Trajan the Patrician (Template:Lang-el, Traianos Patrikios; Template:Lang-la) was a Byzantine historian.

According to the Suda, a patrician Trajan flourished under emperor Justinian II (r. 685–695, 705–711). Trajan wrote a chronicle, which was "very admirable" (Suda T 901). The Suda describes him as "a most faithful Christian and most Orthodox". The chronicle was probably used by Theophanes the Confessor and Patriarch Nikephoros I of Constantinople as a common source for the time from the end of the 7th century to ca. 713.
