Adrianis (also Hadrianis, Ancient Greek: Ἀδριανίς) was a tribe (phyle) added by the ancient Athenians to the previous list of 12 Athenian tribes (consisting of trittyes and demes) in 126−127 A.D.. The tribe was named after the Roman emperor Hadrian. Hadrian first visited Athens in the fall of 125 A.D., with the Athenians considering him as their savior. Emperor liked the city and stayed until spring, with his largesse helping to build some of the most interesting buildings of Athens, including the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Athens. Athens truly worshipped Hadrian.

The Monument of the Eponymous Heroes had one statue added, starting the so-called Period V.

While Athenians added the new phyle to their list at the 7th place, modern researchers use the Roman numeral XV to designate Adrianis.

The 13 demes that formed Adrianis were collected from all 12 old phylai ("rule-of-one"), with the 13th, Antinoeis, newly created and named after Antinous, the Hadrian's favorite.
