Asclepiades of Myrlea () was a Greek grammarian, historian and astronomer disciple of Apollonius of Rhodes born in Myrlea (Bithynia) that lived in the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. At the time of Pompey he was a teacher in Rome. He lived for some time in Spain teaching grammar in Turdetania.
Work Of his numerous Greek writings only some fragments remain which include information about Bithynia as well as some Turdetan myths, collected by the Greek historian Pompeius Trogus.
There is some debate about whether this Asclepiades is the same person as the Asclepiades, son of Areius, who wrote a work on Demetrius Phalereus.Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae 13.567Stephanus of Byzantium, Ethnica s.v. Νίκαια
