Тит Флавий Веспасиан (старший) (лат. Titus Flavius Vespasianus, 17 ноября 9 года — 24 июня 79 года), вошедший в историю под именем Веспасиан — римский император с 20 декабря 69 (провозглашён войсками 1 июля), основатель династии Флавиев, один из наиболее деятельных и успешных принцепсов I века. Когномен «Веспасиан» получил, вероятно, из-за своего любимого занятия — разведения пчел.
