Onchestos, also spelled Onchestus, was a town in ancient Boeotia in Greece, northwest of Thebes, within the territory of Haliartus. It was renowned in antiquity for its sanctuary of Poseidon and was said to have been founded by Onchestos, a son of Poseidon; the site has been excavated intermittently since the 1960s.
