Parmys (Old Persian: (H)uparviyā, Elamite: Uparmiya) was a Persian princess, the only daughter of Bardiya (Smerdis), son of Cyrus the Great.

When Darius the Great seized the Achaemenid throne, he married two daughters (Atossa and Artystone) of Cyrus the Great and later with Parmys. Parmys bore him a son called Ariomardus.
