Attalis () was a tribe () added by the ancient Athenians to the previous list of 11 Athenian tribes in the spring of 200 B.C. just a few months after the "Macedonian" tribes Antigonis and Demetrias were dissolved. The tribe was named after Attalos I, King of Pergamon, on occasion of his visit to Athens.
The Monument of the Eponymous Heroes had two statues (of the Macedonian kings Antigonos I and Demetrios I) removed and one, for Attalos, added, starting the so-called Period IV.
