Acamantis (Greek: Ἀκαμαντίς, romanized: Akamantis) was one of the phylai (tribes) of classical Athens, created during the reforms of Cleisthenes.^[1] It was named after the legendary hero Acamas, and included the demes of Cholargos, Eiresidai, Hermos, Iphistiadai, Kerameis, Kephale, Poros, Thorikos, Eitea, Hagnous, Kikynna, Prospalta and Sphettos.^[2]

Pericles was a member of this tribe.^[3]
