Alcisthene or Alkisthene () may have been a female painter mentioned by Pliny the Elder,Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia xxxv. 11. s. 40 in a list of notable female painters. In the Latin text, however, the name Alcisthenes seems to refer instead to a dancer (saltator) who is the subject of a painting by Irene daughter of the painter Cratinus.
