Jalinus (Arabic: جالينوس, romanized: Jālīnūs, also جالنوس Jālinūs or جيلنوس Jīlinūs) was a 7th-century Sasanian military leader. He may have been of Armenian noble origin. He was reportedly the commander of the ruler's personal guard and was tasked with guarding Khosrow II during the latter's imprisonment. He was one of the commanders of the Sasanian army during the Arab conquest of Iran and was killed at the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah in 636.
