Phytia, also called Phoeteiae or Phoiteikai, was a fortified town in the interior of ancient Acarnania in Greece, situated on a height west of Stratus on the road to Medeon and Limnaea. After the death of Alexander the Great it passed to the Aetolians along with other towns of western Acarnania, and was captured by Philip V of Macedon during his campaign against Aetolia in 219 BCE. It is named among the towns of Acarnania in a Greek inscription found at the site of Actium.
