This article is about the ancient people group of Anatolia; it is not to be confused with Assyrians or Syrians.

The Leuco-Syrians or literally White Syrians (Ancient Greek: Λευκόσυροι, romanized: Leucosyri or Ancient Greek: Λευκοσύριοι, romanized: Leucosyroi), also known as Syrians (Ancient Greek: Σύριος, romanized: Syrios or Ancient Greek: Ἀσσυρία, romanized: Assyria), and Cappadocians (Ancient Greek: Καππάδοκας, romanized: Kappadokas) were an ancient people in central Anatolia during the period of Classical Antiquity. Until now, whether the White Syrians were a Semitic or Indo-European people, or neither, is unknown.
