thumb|Caritena, Ancient Brenthe engraving by William Miller (engraver)|William Miller after H W Williams Brenthe () was an ancient town in the Greek region of Arcadia, located in the district Cynuria.
The ancient author Pausanias describes it as laying between Gortys and Megalopolis, north of the river Alpheius. Near the town, Pausanias mentions a small river of only five stadia in length called Brentheates (Βρενθεάτης) which flows into the Alpheius.
