Oshin of Korikos (orCorycos) (died 1329) served as regent of theArmenian Kingdom of Cilicia from 1320 to 1329. He was the son of the historianHayton of Korikos.^[1] He became regent forLeo IV on the death ofKing Oshin in 1320, whom he was rumoured to have poisoned. Oshin was also probably responsible for the deaths of King Oshin's sisterPrincess Isabella of Armenia and two of her sons, in order to remove rival claimants.

Oshin married twice:

• First, Margaret d'Ibelin, who bore him one daughter,Alice, who married KingLeo IV of Armenia.
• Second, King Oshin's widow,Jeanne of Anjou. Oshin of Korikos and Jeanne had a daughter,Marie, who consecutively married two Armenian Kings of Cilicia,Constantine V andConstantine VI.

Oshin and his daughter Alice (Leo's wife) were assassinated in 1329 at the behest of Leo IV.
