Theaetetus (Θεαίτητος) is a Greek name which could refer to:
- Theaetetus (mathematician) (c. 417 BC – 369 BC), Greek geometer. Theaetetus of Athens (/ˌθiːɪˈtiːtəs/; Greek: Θεαίτητος; c. 417 – c. 369 BC), possibly the son of Euphronius of the Athenian deme Sunium, was a Greek mathematician. His principal contributions were on irrational lengths, which was included in Book X of Euclid's Elements, and proving that there are precisely five regular convex polyhedra. A friend of Socrates and Plato, he is the central character in Plato's eponymous Socratic dialogue.
- Theaetetus (dialogue), a dialogue by Plato, named after the geometer. The Theaetetus (/ˌθiːɪˈtiːtəs/; Greek: Θεαίτητος) is one of Plato's dialogues concerning the nature of knowledge, written circa 369 BCE. In this dialogue set in a wrestling school, Socrates and Theaetetus discuss three definitions of knowledge: knowledge as nothing but perception, knowledge as true judgment, and, finally, knowledge as a true judgment with an account. Each of these definitions is shown to be unsatisfactory.
- Theaetetus (crater), a lunar impact crater
- Theaetetus (poet) (fl. 3rd century BC), Greek poet
- Theaetetus of Cyrene (Θεαίτητος ὁ Κυρηναῖος) (fl. 270 BC), Greek poet
- Theaetetus Scholasticus (Θεαίτητος ὁ σχολαστικός) (fl. 6th century AD), Greek poet
