Tiras was the youngest son of Japheth, listed in the Table of Nations as the ancestor of a people group whose location Genesis does not specify (Genesis 10:2; 1 Chronicles 1:5). Later Jewish tradition, recorded by Josephus, associated his descendants with the Thracians, though the identification cannot be confirmed.
