Aristarete or Aristareta () was an ancient Greek painter. Little is known about her, including where and when she lived.
Although none of her works are known to be extant, Pliny the Elder's Natural History contains mention of hers depicting Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. Pliny includes Aristarete in a list of six ancient Greek female artists, among which Timarete, Irene, and Calypso.
