Piroboridava (Ancient Greek: Πιροβορίδαυα) was a Dacian town mentioned by Ptolemy, and archaeologically identified at Poiana, Galați, Romania. The second part name of the city Dacian dava shows significance of the tribal city.

It was rebuilt as a Roman fort around 101 AD in Trajan's Dacian Wars, situated a little below the confluence of the Trotuș and Siret rivers, on the left bank of the Siret, northwest of Poiana village.
