Quintus Haterius (c. 63 BC – AD 26) was a Roman politician and orator born into a senatorial family.
After the death of Augustus, Tiberius made a show of reluctance to accept power so that he not look ambitious.
Asinius Gallus and Haterius both urged Tiberius to set aside his modesty and assume power.
But his clumsy effort brought the emperor to the ground, and the guards, thinking this was an attack upon Tiberius's person, pounced upon Haterius to kill him.
It was decided by the senate that solid gold vessels should not be used to serve food, and that it was disgraceful for men to wear silk clothes purchased from the East.
