The Paleologo-Oriundi are an Italian family which claims descent from , illegitimate son of John George Palaeologus, Marquis of Montferrat 1530–1533. John George's family, the Palaeologus-Montferrat family descended from Theodore Palaiologos, a son of Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (r. 1282–1328). Though portions of their claimed ancestry is documented, contradictions exist and their descent remains incompletely verified and disputed; some genealogists have wholly dismissed the claims of the family. If they were to be genuine, the Paleologo-Oriundi would be male-line descendants of the last dynasty of Byzantine emperors, though they would not be considered part of that dynasty proper on account of their descent through an illegitimate son.

| - The Paleologo-Oriundi are an Italian family which claims descent from , illegitimate son of John George Palaeologus, Marquis of Montferrat 1530–1533. John George's family, the Palaeologus-Montferrat family descended from Theodore Palaiologos, a son of Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (r. 1282–1328). Though portions of their claimed ancestry is documented, contradictions exist and their descent remains incompletely verified and disputed; some genealogists have wholly dismissed the claims of the family. If they were to be genuine, the Paleologo-Oriundi would be male-line descendants of the last dynasty of Byzantine emperors, though they would not be considered part of that dynasty proper on account of their descent through an illegitimate son. According to their own family histories, early members of the family simply used the name Paleologo. They also claim that the last name Calabraga, originally assumed by a member of the family who was fleeing the law, saw periodical usage in the 16th century. The name Oriundi was apparently first assumed in the late 17th century, "oriundo" meaning an immigrant that is originally of Italian ancestry, a word linguistically related to the term orient (east). Paleologo (or Paleologo-Oriundi) was assumed by the family only in 1930 following a court decision; the Paleologo-Oriundi were not the only dubious claimants to Byzantine ancestry recognized by Italian courts in the 20th century and such courts typically did not closely investigate the veracity of the claims.
