Araros (Ancient Greek: Ἀραρώς), son of Aristophanes, born in 387 BCE, was an Athenian comic poet of the Middle Comedy. His brothers Philippus and Nicostratus were also comic poets. Aristophanes first introduced him to public notice as the principal actor (hypocrites) in his play Plutus (388 BCE), the last comedy which he exhibited in his own name. Aristophanes wrote two more comedies, Cocalus and Aeolosikon, which were brought out in the name of Araros, probably very soon after the above date. Araros first exhibited in his own name in 375. All that we know of Araros' dramatic character is contained in the following passage of Alexis, who, however, was his rival: "I want you to taste some water: I have a big water well inside more frigid than Araros".

Araros (en llatí Ararus, en grec antic Ἀραρώς) fou un poeta còmic atenenc de la comèdia mitjana, fill d'Aristòfanes, que va florir entre el 375 aC i el 388 aC. Els seus germans Filip i Nicòstrat també van ser poetes còmics. Aristòfanes el va presentar per primera vegada en públic com a actor principal (hypokrites) a la seva obra de teatre Plutus el 388 aC, la darrera comèdia que va presentar amb el seu propi nom. Encara va escriure dues comèdies més, Κώκαλος (Cócalos) i Αἰολοσίκων (Aiolosíkon) que es van presentar amb el nom d'Araros, probablement immediatament després de l'any 388 aC. La primera obra que va escriure, segons Suides, la va presentar l'any 375 aC.
