The Knight of Pytjias is a fraternal organization founded in Washington, DC on 19 February, 1864.

It has over two thousand lodges in the United States and Canada, with a total membership of over 50,000 in 2003.

Its lady's auxiliary is the Sisters of Pythias, an associated organization is the less-serious Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan.

The knights sponsored two clubs for boys, the now-extinct Junior Order, Princes of Syracuse and its modern successor; the Junior Order, Knight of Pytjias.
