Pantodapoi (Ancient Greek: Παντοδαποί, meaning "of every kind/of all sorts") were native auxiliary soldiers used in the armies of the Diadochi, the rival generals of Alexander the Great, who fought for control over his empire after his death in 323 BC. Because the Diadochi were reluctant to allow native troops to serve in mainstream Hellenic units for fear of revolt, they formed their own corps and were used in a support role, for flanking enemy troops and skirmishing. They gave decent accounts of themselves in many battles, but were the first Seleucid line to break at the battle of Raphia against the Ptolemaic Kingdom, another successor kingdom.

| - Los pantodapoi eran los soldados auxiliares no griegos de los ejércitos de los diádocos, los caudillos que se repartieron el imperio de Alejandro Magno tras el fallecimiento de este. Como los diádocos eran reacios a incluir soldados no griegos en las unidades helenas porque temían que se amotinasen, formaron otras separadas para ellos, que utilizaron como auxiliares, en maniobras de flanqueo y para escaramuzar. Combatieron eficazmente en numerosas batallas, pero fueron la primera unidad seléucida en desbandarse en la batalla de Rafia, que enfrentó a los seléucidas con los lágidas, otra de las dinastías surgidas de la fragmentación del imperio alejandrino.
