**Vitrasius Pollio** (died AD 32) was a member of the [equestrian class](/source/Equestrian_class) who was [prefect](/source/Prefect) or governor of the imperial province of [Egypt](/source/Egypt_(Roman_province)). He died in office, and was replaced by an imperial [freedman](/source/Freedman) [Hiberus](/source/Hiberus) until another eques, [Aulus Avilius Flaccus](/source/Aulus_Avilius_Flaccus), could arrive from Rome.[1]

Pollio is the earliest attested member of the [Vitrasii](/source/Vitrasia_gens). His son [Gaius Vitrasius Pollio](/source/Gaius_Vitrasius_Pollio_(prefect_AD_41)) was prefect of Roman Egypt between the years 38 and 41.[2]
