Philotas (Greek: Φιλώτας; lived 4th century BC) was a Macedonian soldier and noble from Upper Macedonia.[1][2]
He was the father of Parmenion, the general of Alexander the Great (336 — 323 BC).[2][3] Parmenion would go on to name his son after his father.[4] It appears that he had two other sons, Asander and Agathon.[5][6]
