Antigonus of Carystus (; ; ), Greek writer on various subjects, flourished in the 3rd century BCE. After some time spent at Athens and in travelling, he was summoned to the court of Attalus I (241 BCE–197 BCE) of Pergamum. His chief work is the Successions of Philosophers drawn from personal knowledge, with considerable fragments preserved in Athenaeus and Diogenes Laërtius. His work (, "Collection of Wonderful Tales"), a paradoxographical work chiefly extracted from the (On Marvellous Things Heard) attributed to Aristotle and the ("Thaumasia") of Callimachus, survived to modernity. It is doubtful whether he is identical with the sculptor who, according to Pliny (Nat. Hist. xxxiv. 19), wrote books on his art.
