Damascius (/dəˈmæʃəs/; bahasa Yunani: Δαμάσκιος, ca 458 – setelah 538), yang dikenal sebagai "Neoplatonis terakhir", adalah scholarch terakhir dari Mazhab Athena. Ia adalah salah satu filsuf pagan yang ditindas oleh Kaisar Yustinianus I pada awal abad ke-6 M, dan sempat terpaksa mengungsi ke Persia, sebelum diizinkan pulang ke Kekaisaran Bizantium. Karya-karyanya yang masih ada meliputi tiga komentar terhadap karya-karya Plato, dan sebuah teks metafisika berjudul Kesulitan dan Solusi Prinsip-prinsip Utama.
