Death of Valentinianus, the son of Emperor Valens, as depicted in the 9th century Paris Gregory.

Valentinianus Galates (Greek: Ούαλεντινιανός Γαλάτης, 18 January 366 – c. 370) was the only son of the Roman emperor Valens, who ruled the Roman Empire from 364 to 378. Born into the ruling Valentinianic dynasty, Galates became Roman consul in 369, but he died in early childhood, and the empire passed to the descendants of Valentinian I, Galates's uncle, whom he was named after.

According to the 4th- and 5th-century ecclesiastical histories written by Nicene Christians, Valentinianus died as a result of his father's Arian Christianity.
