Khosrovidukht also transliterated Xosroviduxt (Armenian: Խոսրովիդուխտ, flourished second half of 3rd century & first half of 4th century) was a princess of the Arsacid dynasty of Armenia,[2] one of the client-kingdoms of the Roman Empire and a branch of the Arsacid dynasty of Parthia.
Khosrovidukht was the daughter of King Khosrov II of Armenia[3] by a mother whose name is unknown. Her known sibling was her brother Tiridates III of Armenia who ruled Armenia from 287 to 330. The name Khosrovidukht was a dynastic name in the Arsacid royal house[2] as she was the namesake of her father and her paternal great-grandfather Khosrov I, a previous ruling Armenian King.[4]
