Panyassis of Halicarnassus, sometimes known as Panyasis (), was a 5th-century BC Greek epic poet from Halicarnassus in the Persian Empire (modern-day Bodrum, Turkey).

== Life == Panyassis was the son of Polyarchus () from Halicarnassus, but the historian Duris of Samos claimed that Panyasis was the son of Diocles () and from Samos. In addition, the historian Herodotus was either his nephew or his cousin. There was also another person of the same name, possibly the grandson of the poet, who wrote a work in two books on dreams.
