Flavius Anastasius Paulus Probus Sabinianus Pompeius Anastasius (Greek: Άναστάσιος; fl. 517) was a politician of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Life

Anastasius was the son of Sabinian, consul in 505, and of a niece of emperor Anastasius I, making him the emperor's grandnephew. He may have been the brother of Flavius Anastasius Paulus Probus Moschianus Probus Magnus, consul in 518. He was married to the Empress Theodora's illegitimate daughter, whose name has not survived. They had one son, Anastasius, who married Juliana, the daughter of Probus (consul 525).

He held the consulship for the year 517. His consular diptych is preserved at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. According to the inscription (CIL V, 8120 CIL XIII, 10032) he held the honorary title of comes domesticorum equitum.
