Dagistheus (fl. 479) was an Ostrogothic chieftain. The name is Germanic.[1] Theodoric the Great (r. 474–526) sent Dagistheus and Soas as hostages to Adamantius in Epirus in 479.[1] He was presumably a leading Ostrogothic chieftain under Theodoric.[1] The Roman baths in Constantinople were possibly named after him.[1] He may have been an ancestor of the later Byzantine general Dagisthaeus.[1]
