Zipoetes I, also Zipoites I or Ziboetes I, possibly Tiboetes I (Greek: Zιπoίτης or Zιβoίτης; lived c. 354 BC – 278 BC, ruled c. 326 BC – 278 BC; three syllables, oe is a diphthong) was the second independent ruler of Bithynia.

He succeeded his father Bas on the throne in 326 BC and reigned for forty-eight years, carrying on successful wars with Lysimachus and Antiochus, the son of Seleucus I Nicator.^[1] In 315 BC he carried on a war against Astacus and Chalcedon, which failed in the face of a relief army sent by Antigonus I Monophthalmus.^[2]; in 301, after Antigonus' death, he attacked again, and was victorious, but Astactus was destroyed in the war. He founded a city which was called Zipoetium (after himself) at the foot of Mount Lypedron; the exact locations of both the city and the mountain are unknown.

He lived to the age of seventy-six, and left behind him four children, the eldest of whom, Nicomedes, succeeded him.^[3] He was the first ruler of Bithyinia to assume the title of basileus (king), assuming this title in the year 297 BC.
