Boraides (, d. 548) was a cousin of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I (r. 527–565), better known for his role in ending the Nika riots of 532. The primary source about him is Procopius.
== Life == Boraides was a brother of Germanus and Justus. They were reportedly cousins of Justinian I, though the exact relation is uncertain. They were nephews of Justin I (r. 518–527), though often erroneously stated to be nephews of Justinian himself.
