Archippus (; Ancient Greek: Ἄρχιππος, "master of the horse") was an early Christian believer mentioned briefly in the New Testament epistles of Philemon and Colossians.

==Role in the New Testament== In Paul's letter to Philemon (), Archippus is named once alongside Philemon and Apphia as a host of the church, and a "fellow soldier." In (ascribed to Paul), the church is instructed to tell Archippus to "Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it."
