The Trocmi (Ancient Greek: Τρόκμοι, Trókmoi) were one of the three Celtic peoples of Galatia in central Anatolia, together with the Tolistobogii and the Tectosages. The easternmost of the three, they settled in the 3rd century BC in the country east of the Halys (modern Kızılırmak) adjoining Pontus and Cappadocia, with their centre at Tavium. In the mid-1st century BC their tetrarch Brogitarus was made a king through Rome, and on his death the Trocmian tetrarchy passed to Deiotarus of the Tolistobogii. After Galatia was annexed by Augustus in 25 BC, Tavium became the autonomous city of the people, whose community styled itself the Sebastēnoi Trokmoi Tavianoi.
