Staurakios or Stauracius (died January 11, 812) was Byzantine Emperor from July 26 to October 2, 811, in succession to his father, Nikephoros I, who had fallen at the Battle of Pliska.

His rule is cut short by a severe wound suffered in the same battle, and he is forced into retirement in a monastery by his brother-in-law, Michael I Rangabe, where he dies soon after.
