Pactya, also spelled Paktye, was an ancient Greek city on the Thracian Chersonese, in what is now the Gallipoli peninsula of Turkey, near the modern town of Bolayir. Founded by Miltiades, it was a fortified settlement on the Propontis coast and a member of the Delian League, known to the historians Herodotus, Strabo and Pliny the Elder before it was absorbed with neighboring Cardia into the new city of Lysimachia.
