Decimus Terentius Scaurianus was a Roman senator and general active in the late 1st and early 2nd centuries AD.

His cursus honorum, the sequential mixture of military and political administrative positions held by aspiring politicians in the early Roman Empire, is known in part from a damaged inscription found at Nemausus (modern Nîmes).

[3] His first recorded office is as a member of the quattuorviri viarum curandarum, the board of four magistrates overseeing road maintenance within the city of Rome.

Next Scaurianus was commissioned military tribune, a middle ranking officer, in Legio I Italica, which at the time was stationed at Novae (modern Svishtov) in the imperial province of Moesia.

[4] Although the inscription from Nemausus is incomplete, it attests he held the traditional Republican magistracy of plebeian tribune, another prestigious position which had lost its independence and most of its practical functions, and then he was elected praetor.

[10]The inscription from Nemausus records a military decoration or dona militaria which Scaurianus received, an award of four spears.
