Damo (c. 535 BC - 475 BC) was the daughter of Pythagoras and Theano. She studied, and later taught, at the Pythagorean School at Croton. When the school closed, Damo sought refuge in Athens, where, with the help of Thymaridas and Philolaus, she published her father's treatises on geometry. She is cited by Geminus, Iamblichus and Diogenes Laertius.

Damo's principal work, in addition to treatises on the construction of a regular tetrahedron and the construction of a cube, is An Account of Pythagoras: Advanced Geometry.
