Archagathus ( Greek: Ἀρχάγαθος, fl. 4th century BC) was a Syracusan Greek Prince of Magna Graecia. He was the son of Archagathus by an unnamed wife, being a paternal grandson of the Greek tyrant (and later "king" of Sicily) Agathocles of Syracuse from his first wife. ^[1]

Archagathus was described as a youth of great bravery and daring. ^[1] After the death of his father in 307 BC, Archagathus murdered his paternal uncle Agathocles, so that he would succeed his paternal grandfather. ^[1] After the death of his paternal uncle, he was in turn murdered by a local Greek citizen called Maemon. ^[1]
