Deceneus (or Dicineus, Dekaineos) was the High Priest of Zalmoxis in the time of Burebista (70 BC - 44 BC), in ancient Dacia (modern-day Romania). He held almost royal powers, and was a chief advisor of Burebista, the Dacian king.

In Getica, where Dacian history has been conflated with that of the Goths, he is given as the lawgiver of the Goths.
