The Sotades Painter (fl. 470 BCE–450 BCE) was a 5th-century BCE Athenian vase painter, "one of the most familiar names in vase painting".Herbert Hoffman, Sotades: Symbols of Immortality on Greek Vases, 1997, , flyleaf

Sotades is the potter's signature on his vases; it may have also been the name of the painter himself.Gordon Campbell, The Grove Encyclopedia of Classical Art and Architecture, , 2007, at Oxford Reference, s.v. 'Sotades Painter'

Sotades worked in both red figure and white ground technique.
