The Roxolani (from Alanic ruxsalan- "bright alan") are a Sarmatian people.

Their first recorded homeland lay between the Don and Dnieper rivers; they migrate in the 1st century BC toward the Danube, to what is now the Baragan steppes in Romania.The Greco-Roman historian Strabo (late 1st century BCE-early 1st century CE) described them as "wagon-dwellers" (i.e.

nomads) (Geographika, Book VII).
