Turpilio (c. AD 365 - 409) was a Roman military commander. At the recommendation of his superior officer, Olympus, the emperor Honorius appointed Turpilio to be magister equitum after the removal and execution of the emperor's kinsman Stilicho the Vandal.
Following the downfall of Olympus (409), Turpilio was removed from office and sent into exile, where he was murdered by the members of his escort.
