Titus Vibius Varus was a Roman senator, who was active during the reign of Trajan. He was suffect consul in the nundinium of September-December 115 as the colleague of Marcus Pompeius Macrinus Neos Theophanes.[1] He is known entirely from inscriptions.

Bernard Remy suggests that his family came from Brixia in Istria, or Region X of Italy. Remy also identifies Varus as the father of Titus Vibius Varus, ordinary consul in 134.[2] Besides the consulate, Varus is known to have held one office, governor of the public province of Creta et Cyrenaica during the reign of Trajan.[3]
