John Phakrases (Greek: Ἱωάννης Φακρασῆς, fl. early 14th century) was a Byzantine nobleman and courtier.

Little is known about his life. His unnamed father was logothetes ton agelon, and he was possibly the grandson of a namesake 13th-century official who was a friend and correspondent of Patriarch Gregory II of Constantinople.[1] Of his career, it is only known that Phakrases served as parakoimomenos under Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (r. 1282–1328).[1][2] Maximos Planoudes intended to teach him, and a manuscript names him as the author of a list of offices in verse.[1][2] Phakrases was married and had children. Their names are unknown, as is that of his wife, on whose death Manuel Gabalas composed a funeral elegy.[1]
