Selevkos av Seleukia (født c. 190 f.Kr., fl. 150-tallet f.Kr.) var en hellenistisk astronom og filosof[1] fra Seleukia ved Tigris, hovedstaden i Selevkide-riket, eller alternativt Seleukia ved Rødehavet.[2] Han er best kjent som en forkjemper for heliosentrismen[3][4][5] og for sin teori om tidevannets opprinnelse.

Among several cities named Seleukia, the best known is Seleukia on the Tigris, the capital of the Seleucid kingdom. It is possible that the astronomer Seleukos lived or was born in this city, but it is also possible that his native town was Seleukia on the Erythrean Sea.
