Archytas de Tarente (en grec ancien : Ἀρχύτας ὁ Ταραντίνος, né vers 435 av. J.-C. à Tarente en Grande-Grèce et mort en 347 av. J.-C. au large de l'Apulie) est un philosophe pythagoricien, mathématicien, astronome, homme politique, stratège et général grec, fils de Mnésagore ou Histiée. Fait unique dans l’histoire, il fut sept fois stratège et gouverna la cité de Tarente durant sept années consécutives, incarnant ainsi le philosophe roi éclairé tel que l'envisageaient les philosophes ; la cité connut alors une époque de prospérité.
