Grabos (or Grabus; ; ruled c. 437–423 BC) was an
Illyrian chieftain who is mentioned once in an Athenian inscription in 423 BC. He or his son (possibly
Sirras) were the leaders of the Illyrians who supported the
Lyncestians against an expedition by the Macedonians in 423 BC. The Illyrian-Lyncestian troops defeated the Macedonian-Spartan alliance.
He probably was the grandfather of
Grabos II.
