Delfi (in greco antico: Δελφοί, Delphói) è un importante sito archeologico, nonché una storica città dell'antica Grecia, sede del più importante e venerato oracolo del dio Apollo, assieme a Didima. Situata nella Focide sulle pendici del monte Parnaso, a circa 130 km a nord-ovest da Atene e a 600 m s.l.m. all'incrocio di antiche vie di comunicazione. Nei tempi antichi si pensava che Delfi fosse il centro del mondo, quindi era sede dell'onfalo o ombelico del mondo.
