Demetrius, Demetrios, Dimitrios, Demitri or Dimitri (from Greek — Δημήτριος, son of Demeter)^[1][2] is the name of several notable people from classical antiquity and other eras.

The Latin form of this name, Demetrius, is the spelling normally used in English speaking countries when most historical figures of this name are referred to. Lists of famous men named Demetrius are therefore found in the article under that spelling.

Greek feminine forms of Demetrius include Demetra or Dimitra and various diminutives (Δήμητρα, Δημητρούλα, Δημητρία, Μιμή, Μιμίκα, Ντίμι, Tούλα).

Dimitri is often anglicized as James (and so Jim and Jimmy), though the names are etymologically unrelated.

For Dmitri, Dmitry, etc., the Slavic versions of this name, see Dmitry.
