Eudemus of Rhodes (Ancient Greek: Εὔδημος; flourished before 300 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher, considered the first historian of science. He was one of Aristotle's most important pupils, editing his teacher's work and making it more easily accessible. Eudemus' nephew, Pasicles, was also credited with editing Aristotle's works.
