Agasias was the name of two different Greek sculptors.

Agasias, son of Dositheus, signed the remarkable statue called the Borghese Warrior, in the Louvre.

Agasias, son of Menophilus, is the author of another striking figure of a warrior in the museum of Athens.

Both belonged to the school of Ephesus and flourished approximately 100 BC.
