Epidaurus (Oudgrieks: Επίδαυρος, Epídauros) is de naam van een oud-Griekse stad op het schiereiland Argolis, beroemd om het nabijgelegen Grieks heiligdom van Asklepios, halfgod van de geneeskunde. Er is enige verwarring mogelijk tussen: * Paliá Epídavros (Oud Epidaurus): de oude havenstad, aan de zee gelegen, met resten van de antieke haveninstallaties (nu deels onder water), een theater en een vroegchristelijke kerk; * Néa Epidavros (Nieuw Epidaurus): het nieuwe dorp, vlak bij het vorige gelegen * Archéa Epidavros (Antiek Epidaurus): ca. 10 km landinwaarts gelegen, de beroemde cultusplaats van Asklepios (Latijn: Aesculapius), met het goedbewaarde theater. Archaía Epídavros is de verzamelnaam van een aantal dorpen: Paleá Epídavros, Néa Epídavros, Ano Epídavros, Koliáki, Trachiá en Dímena.
