Gaius or Lucius Fulvius Plautianus (c. 150 – 22 January 205) was a member of the Roman gens Fulvia. As head of the Praetorian Guard, he was very influential in the administration of state affairs, and clashed with Julia Domna, the wife of Septimius Severus. His daughter Fulvia Plautilla became empress as the wife of Severus and Domna's eldest son Caracalla. His son-in-law resented Fulvia as well as Plautianus and eventually disposed of them.
