Pitar is a fictional planet created by Alan Dean Foster for his Humanx Commonwealth universe. This planet, like Midworld and Ulru-Ujurr, is under Church Edict preventing any contact with the inhabitants.

The native race to the planet is also known as the Pitar, they are human to 96.3% and generally more well-formed, handsome and muscular than typical human standards.

First human contact with the planet was in 2360 AA (After Amalgamation). In 2365 the Pitar destroyed the colonists on the planet Treetrunk (Argus V) which started the Humanx-Pitar War. A year later humanx scientists invented the SCCAM missile which allowed the Humanx alliance to break the defenses of the Pitar and complete the isolation of the world.

The planet first appeared in the novel Dirge (2000).
