thumb|alt=Stone carving of the head of a woman|The Kaufmann Head, a Roman copy of the Aphrodite of Knidos, for which Phryne is said to have been the model, in the [[Musée du Louvre]] Phryne (, before 370 – after 316 BC) was an ancient Greek hetaira (courtesan). Born Mnesarete, she was from Thespiae in Boeotia, but seems to have lived most of her life in Athens. She apparently grew up poor, but became one of the richest women in Greece.
Little is known for certain about Phryne's life. She is best known for her trial for impiety, in which she was defended by the orator Hypereides. According to legend, she was acquitted after baring her breasts to the jury, though the historicity of this episode is doubtful. She also modelled for the artists Apelles and Praxiteles: the Aphrodite of Knidos was said to have been based on her.
