Toros I, also Thoros I, (unknown[1] – 1129[2] / February 17, 1129 – February 16, 1130[1]) was the third lord of Armenian Cilicia[2] or “Lord of the Mountains”[1] (c. 1100[2] / 1102 / 1103[1] – 1129[2] / 1130[1]).

His alliance with the leaders of the First Crusade helped him rule his feudal holdings with commanding authority.[2] Toros ejected the Byzantine garrisons from the fortifications at Anazarbus and Sis, making the latter his capital. He was plagued by the nomadic Turks who were harassing him from the north but were driven back.[2]

He avenged the death of King Gagik II by killing his assassins.[2] This act of revenge was often used by chroniclers of the 12th century as direct evidence connecting the Roupenians to the Bagratid lineage.[2]

During his time he bestowed favors and gave gifts and money to many monasteries for their decoration and adornment, in particular those of Drazark (Trassarg) and Mashgevar.[2]
