Mithrenes (Armenian: Միհրան Greek: Mιθρένης or Mιθρίνης) was an Armenian commander of the Persian force that garrisoned the citadel of Sardis. After the battle of the Granicus Mithrines surrendered voluntarily to Alexander the Great and was treated by him with great distinction. He fought for Alexander at Gaugamela and ironically he was fighting against an army that included his father Orontes II. After the battle Alexander appointed him Satrap of Armenia as his father had been.
