Lysander (; Ancient Greek: Λύσανδρος Lysandros; c. 454 BC – 395 BC) was a Spartan admiral and statesman who was one of the leading military and political figures of Sparta during the Peloponnesian War.
He destroyed the Athenian fleet at the Battle of Aegospotami in 405 BC, forcing Athens to capitulate and bringing the Peloponnesian Wars to an end. He then played a key role in Sparta's domination of Greece for the next decade until his death at the Battle of Haliartus in 395 BC.
Lysander's vision for Sparta differed from most Spartans; he wanted to overthrow the Athenian Empire and replace it with Spartan hegemony.
