Amelesagoras () or Melesagoras (, as he is called by others) of Chalcedon, was an early Greek historian. The histories of Gorgias and Eudemus of Naxos both borrowed from him.Clement of Alexandria, Stromata vi. p.629, aScholiast on Euripides, on Alcestis 2Bibliotheca iii. 10. § 3 where the scholar Christian Gottlob Heyne has substituted for )
Maximus Tyrius speaks of a Melesagoras, a native of Eleusis,Maximus Tyrius, Serm. 38. § 3 and Antigonus of Carystus of an Amelesagoras of Athens,Antigonus of Carystus, Hist. Mirab. c. 12 the latter of whom wrote an account of Attica; these persons are probably the same, and perhaps also the same as Amelesagoras of Chalcedon.Gerardus Vossius, De Historicis Graecis p. 22, ed. Westermann
