Delphi (griechisch Δελφοί (m. pl.), altgriechisch Δελφοί Delphoí ausgesprochen), ursprünglich Pytho (Πυθώ) genannt, war eine Stadt im antiken Griechenland, die vor allem für ihr Orakel bekannt war. Seit 1987 gehören die Ausgrabungen von Delphi zur Liste des Weltkulturerbes der UNESCO. Westlich der Ruinen des antiken Delphi befindet sich die moderne Kleinstadt Delfi.
