Wabah Athena (bahasa Yunani Kuno: Λοιμὸς τῶν Ἀθηνῶνcode: grc is deprecated , Loimos tôn Athênôncode: grc is deprecated ) adalah sebuah epidemi yang terjadi di kota-negara Athena di Yunani kuno pada tahun kedua (430 SM) Perang Peloponnesia saat kemenangan Athena. Wabah tersebut menewaskan sekitar 75.000 sampai 100.000 orang dan diyakini memasuki Athena melalui Piraeus, kota pelabuhan dan sumber pangan dan suplai tunggal.^[1]
