'''Adralestos''' ({{langx|el|Ἀδράλεστος}}) was the [[Domestic of the Schools]] (commander-in-chief of the [[Byzantine army]]) in the early years of [[Romanos I Lekapenos]]' reign.
Very little is known about him. He was apparently appointed to the post of Domestic after Romanos I's rise to the throne in 920, in succession to [[John Garidas]], and held the post until his death later in 920 or in 921, as he is already mentioned as having died in 921. His successor was [[Pothos Argyros (Domestic of the Schools)|Pothos Argyros]].{{sfn|PmbZ|loc=Adralestos (#20115)}}{{sfn|Guilland|1967|p=441}} His family is unknown. Rodolphe Guilland considered him an ancestor, likely grandfather, of Adralestos Diogenes, ''[[strategos]]'' of the [[Anatolic Theme]] in 970, but there is little concrete evidence to support this assumption other than the identical names.{{sfn|Guilland|1967|p=441}}{{sfn|PmbZ|loc=Adralestos Diogenes (#20118)}}
