Ruben I (also transliterated "Rupen" or "Roupen" in Western Armenian from _hy. Ռուբեն Ա; 1025–1095) was the founder of the Kingdom of Cilician Armenia. Initially lord of Gobidar and Goromosol, he declared independence when he launched a rebellion against the Byzantine Empire in 1080 and seized the fortress of Partzerpert. Born in Armenia, Ruben was likely a member of the Bagratuni Dynasty that had ruled in Cilicia after the fall of Ani in 1045. He was related to, maybe a son of Gagik II, the last King of Ani.
Ruben died in 1095 and was buried at the monastery of Castalon. His son Constantine I of Armenia succeeded him.
