Ælius Lampridus was a historical Roman figure, and one of the six pseudo-authors of the Historia Augustus.[1] It has been suggested that Ælius Lampridus is the same as Ælius Spartianus, another of the pseudo-authors, whose full name was Ælius Lampridus Spartianus.[2]

Lives attributed to Ælius Lampridus are Commodus, "Diadumenus", Heliogabalus and Severus Alexander.
