Pitholaos of Endymion (died 428 BC) was an Athenian captain who commanded the Endymion Camp garrison in Elis during the Peloponnesian War. He forced the Olympia con man Alopex and his street children pickpockets to steal for him, threatening the children with violence and abuse, but, in 428 BC, he made enemies with the mercenary Kassandra after Kassandra chased the pickpocket Maia and discovered that Pitholaos was forcing her and the other children to pick pockets, and that Pitholaos had stolen her late mother's necklace. Kassandra travelled to the Endymion Camp, where she killed Pitholaos, freed the children held captive there, and recovered Maia's mother's necklace.
