Abdisho (?-c. 345) was a deacon and martyr of the Christian church.

He was imprisoned with Bishop Heliodorus of Bet Zabdai in Mesopotamia by order of Shapur II. Following the deaths of bishop Dausa and 275 companions at Masabadan, Abdisho, who survived, continued to preach the gospel and bury the martyrs. He was finally ordered killed by the mayor of the village about 345.
