Tito Maccio Plauto (in latino: Titus Maccius Plautus o Titus Maccus Plautus; Sarsina, tra il 255 e il 250 a.C. – Roma, 184 a.C.) è stato un commediografo romano. Plauto fu uno dei più prolifici e importanti autori dell'antichità latina e l'autore teatrale che più influenzò il teatro occidentale. Egli fu esponente del genere teatrale della palliata, ideato dall'innovatore della letteratura latina Livio Andronico. Il termine plautino, che deriva appunto da Plauto, si riferisce sia alle sue opere sia ad opere simili o influenzate da quelle di Plauto.
