Ergoteles (Шаблон:Lang-grc) or Ergotelis, was a native of Knossos and Olympic runner in the Ancient Olympic Games.

Civil disorder (ancient Greek: Stasis) had compelled him to leave Crete. He came to Sicily and was naturalized as a citizen of Himera, Magna Graecia. He won the Olympic dolichos ("long race") of 472 BC and 464 BC,[1] as well as winning twice in both Pythian and Isthmian Games.
