Asclepio o Esculapio (in greco antico: Ἀσκληπιός, Asklēpiós, in latino: Aesculapius) è un personaggio della mitologia greca e romana. Figlio di Apollo e di Arsinoe secondo Esiodo, oppure di Apollo e Coronide per Pindaro, è un semidio e dunque uomo mortale per Omero. Si diceva fosse stato istruito nella medicina dal centauro Chirone, o che avesse ereditato tale proprietà dal padre Apollo. Divenne poi il dio della medicina, al pari di suo padre, ed era una divinità molto adorata dal popolo, in quanto benevola con gl'infermi; la costellazione dell'Ofiuco rappresenta il suo mito.
