Tatikios or Taticius (, c. 1048 – died after 1110) was an Eastern Roman general of Turkish origin during the reign of Alexios I Komnenos. His name is also rendered as Tetigus, Tatizius, Tatitius, Tatic, or Tetig.
==Origins and early life== The father of Tatikios was a "Saracen", probably meaning a Turk, who was captured by Alexios' father John Komnenos and who served as a slave in the Komnenos household. Tatikios and Alexios grew up together. Tatikios is described as an oikogenes of Alexios (that is, "from the same house").
