Eudorus of Alexandria ({{lang-el|Εὔδωρος ὁ Ἀλεξανδρεύς}}; 1st century BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher, and a representative of Middle Platonism.^[1] He attempted to reconstruct Plato's philosophy in terms of Pythagoreanism.^[2]

He formulated a teleological principle for Platonism, derived from the Theaetetus: "as much as we can, become like God."^[3] In this he believed that he had found an apt definition of the common goal of Pythagoras, Socrates, and Plato.^[4] His metaphysics and cosmology combined Platonist, Pythagorean and Stoic ideas.^[4]

He is mentioned by Alexander of Aphrodisias in his commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics, ^[5]. This mention has been often taken as a reference to a former commentary by Eudorus on Aristotle's Metaphysics, although Alexander's text does not really say this ^[6]. The way Aristotle's texts were available to Eudorus is now an open field for research ^[7].

Simplicius refers to him as a Peripatetic philosopher, and relates that he had written on the Aristotelian Categories. He was a native of Alexandria, and had, like Aristo of Alexandria, written a work on the Nile.^[8]
