John Axouch or Axouchos (Greek: Ἰωάννης Ἀξούχ or Ἀξοῦχος, romanizedIōánnēs Axoûchos,[a] fl. 1087 – c. 1150), also transliterated as Axuch, was the commander-in-chief (megas domestikos) of the Byzantine army during the reign of Emperor John II Komnenos (r. 1118–1143), and during the early part of the reign of his son Manuel I Komnenos (r. 1143–1180). He may also have served as the de facto chief of the civil administration of the Byzantine Empire.
