Peucolaus Soter Dicaeus (Ancient Greek: Πευκόλαος Σωτήρ Δίκαιος, romanized: Peukolaos Sōtēr Dikaios; epithets mean respectively, "the Saviour", "the Just") was an Indo-Greek king who ruled in the area of Gandhara c. 90 BCE. His reign was probably short and insignificant, since he left only a few coins, but the relations of the latter Indo-Greek kings remain largely obscure.

His name was previously interpreted as "The man from Pushkalavati". Pushkalavati was the historic capital of Gandhara located in the Valley of Peshawar. However the name Peucolaus is a Greek name found mainly in ancient Macedonia and derived from the words πεύκη ("pine") and λαός ("people"). This was also the name of one of the men who planned to assassinate Alexander the Great in the 4th century BCE.[3]
