Philotera (, born 315/309 BC-probably after 282 BC and before 268 BC) was a Greek Macedonian noblewoman and a Greek Egyptian princess of the Ptolemaic dynasty.
Philotera was the daughter of Ptolemy I Soter and Berenice I of Egypt. She had one older sister, Arsinoe II, and a younger brother, the future Pharaoh Ptolemy II Philadelphus. From her parents' previous marriages, Philotera had various half-maternal and half-paternal siblings.
