The Itivuttaka (Pāli: "as it was said") is a Buddhist scripture, part of the Pāli Canon of Theravāda Buddhism and is attributed to Khujjuttarā's recollection of Buddha's discourses. It is included there in the Sutta Piṭaka's Khuddaka Nikāya. It comprises 112 short teachings ascribed in the text to the Buddha, each consisting of a prose portion followed by a verse portion. The latter may be a paraphrase of the former, or complementary. Some scholars consider it one of the earliest of all Buddhist scriptures, while others consider it somewhat later.

== Etymology == The title "Itivuttaka" is a compound word, takes its name from each discourse beginning with the Pāli word "vuttam" (this was said [by the Buddha]) and concluding with the phrase "iti me sutan-ti" (that is what I heard). This differing vocabulary is said to have been used by Khujjuttarā to imply the discourses are not her own, distinguishing it from other suttas in the Pāli Canon which begin with Evaṃ me sutaṃ (Thus have I heard).
