Pherecydes or Pherekedes (Greek: Φερεκύδης) was the name of three ancient Greek writers, who may not all be distinct:

  • Pherecydes of Syros (fl. 6th century BC), a pre-Socratic philosopher from the island of Syros, believed by some to have influenced Pythagoras
  • Pherecydes of Athens (fl. c. 465 BC), an historian and genealogist (FGrHist 3)
  • Pherecydes of Leros (before 480-477 BC), an historian from the Greek island of Leros
