Pheroras (Greek: Φερώρας; c. 68 BC–c. 5 BC), probably born in Marissa (Idumea), was the youngest son of Antipater I and his wife Cypros and younger brother of Herod the Great.
His first marriage was to Salampsio (the daughter of Mariamne I and his elder brother Herod the Great); his second was to a "slave girl", by whose "charms" he was "overcome".
Pheroras was a close comrade-in-arms of his brother Herod, on whose commission he restored the fortress of Alexandreum to the north of Jericho.
