Плоти́н (др.-греч. Πλωτῖνος; 204/205, Ликополь, Египет, Римская империя — 270, Минтурны, Кампания) — античный философ-идеалист, основатель неоплатонизма. Систематизировал учение Платона о воплощении триады в природе и космосе. Определил Божество как неизъяснимую первосущность, стоящую выше всякого постижения и порождающую собой все многообразие вещей путём эманации («излияния»). Пытался синтезировать античный политеизм с идеями Единого. Признавал доктрину метемпсихоза, на которой основывал нравственное учение жизни. Разработал сотериологию неоплатонизма.
