Eraclito di Efeso (pronuncia in Greco /e'raklito/, in Latino /era'klito/; in greco antico: Ἡράκλειτος, Hērákleitos, "gloria di Era" o Ἡράκλειτος ὁ Ἐφέσιος, Hērákleitos ho Ephésios, "Eraclito di Efeso"; Efeso, 535 a.C. – Efeso, 475 a.C.) è stato un filosofo greco antico, uno dei maggiori pensatori presocratici. Eraclito è considerato il Pensatore oscuro per eccellenza ed egli stesso nutriva sfiducia nella possibilità che il suo scritto potesse essere compreso dalla maggior parte degli uomini. Egli è interpretato in modi differenti a causa del suo stile ermetico, oracolare, criptico e della frammentarietà nella quale è giunta la sua opera già complessa in principio. Ad esempio Aristotele, che si suppone ne abbia letto integralmente l'opera, lo definisce «l'oscuro»; persino Socrate ebbe problemi a comprendere gli aforismi dell'«oscuro», sostenendo che erano profondi quanto le profondità raggiunte dai tuffatori di Delo. Eraclito influenzò in vario modo i pensatori successivi: da Platone allo stoicismo, la cui fisica ripropone in gran parte la teoria eraclitea del logos.
