Adobogiona (fl. c. 70 BC – c. 30 BC) was an illegitimate daughter of king Mithridates VI of Pontus. Her mother was the Galatian princess Adobogiona the Elder. After the death of her father, Adobogiona married the noble Castor Saecondarius, tetrach of all Galatians from 41/40 to 37/36 BC. Their son became the last king of Paphlagonia at some point before 31 BC and ruled until his death around AD 6.
