Androcleides () was a politician of ancient Thebes. In the 390s BCE, Thebes was a city divided between factions desiring an alliance with Sparta, and factions desiring an alliance with Athens, and Androcleides led the Athenian faction, along with Ismenias.
Androcleides was bribed by Timocrates, the emissary of Tissaphernes, in 395, in order to induce the Thebans to make war upon the Spartans and thus bring back Agesilaus from Asia.
