The Athinganoi (Ancient Greek: Ἀθίγγανοι, singular Athinganos, Ἀθίγγανος), were a 9th-century sect of Monarchians located in Phrygia and Lycaonia founded by Theodotus the Banker. It is uncertain whether the sect survived beyond the 9th century. Some Sources said they derived from the Simonians.

The etymology of the word is not certain, but a common determination is a derivation in Greek for "(the) untouchables" (compare Indian Chandala, dalit), derived from a privative alpha prefix and the verb thingano (θιγγάνειν, thinganein, "to touch").

The name Athinganoi, a later variant form of which is Atsinganoi (ἀτσίγγανοι), came to be associated with the Romani people who first appeared in the Byzantine Empire at the time. Atsinganoi is the root word for "cigano", "çingene", "cigány", "zigeuner", "tzigan", "țigan", and "zingaro", words used to describe members of the Romani people in various European languages. Today many of these words are still used in a derogatory sense, albeit others are the most common exonym for them in a given language. The idea of Roma as sorcerers also plays a part in the apparent confusion between the Atzinganoi (the Roma), and the Athinganoi.

Οι Αθίγγανοι (αναφέρονται και ως Καθαροί ή Καθάρειοι) ήταν χριστιανοί αιρετικοί του 8ου αιώνα μ.Χ. των οποίων οι ρίζες εντοπίζονται στους Παυλικιανούς. Η αίρεση αυτή είχε ισχύ όχι εξαιτίας τόσο από τον αριθμό των μελών της, αλλά από το γεγονός ότι τα μέλη της ήταν υψηλόβαθμοι αξιωματούχοι, ακόμη και βυζαντινοί αυτοκράτορες. Σύμφωνα με το Μεγάλο Ετυμολογικό πήραν το όνομά τους επειδή δεν ήθελαν να τους προσεγγίζουν.
