Theodore Alyates was a Byzantine general who commanded the right wing of Emperor Romanos IV's troops at the Battle of Manzikert.

Alyates' troops initially withstood the assault of the Seljuk Turks arrows, but when Andronikos Doukas betrayed Romanus, the Turks took advantage of the opportunity and routed Alyates' men.
