Socrates of Argos was a 5th-century BCE Greek historian from Argos. No details of his personal life survive, and he is known only through later citations, where he is distinguished from Socrates of Athens by his ethnic designation.

His sole known work is the lost local history Argolica or On Argos, a prose account in the Doric dialect concerning the myths, cults, and antiquities of the Argolid region. He is significant as an early example of a horographer, or writer of local chronicles.

His Argolica is cited by authors like Plutarch for Argive traditions, representing the Doric strand of early historiography and contributing source material for later historians and mythographers.
