Asclepigenia (fl 430 – 485) was an Athenian philosopher and mystic. Her father, Plutarch the Younger was head of the Neoplatonist school, and instructed Asclepigenia and her brother Heiro in the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. To Ascelpigenia alone, though, he passed on the Chaldean mysticism and theurgy that had been taught to him by his father Nestorius.

Following her father's death, Asclepigenia continued her father's teachings; her most famous student was Proclus.
