The '''Anagyros Painter''' or '''Anagyrus Painter''' was a vase painter of the early [[Attica|Attic]] [[black-figure pottery|black-figure]] style, active in the first quarter of the 6th century BC. His works have only been found in inland Attica, mainly at [[Vari]] (ancient [[Anagyros]], which is the base of his conventional name), but not in [[Athens]] itself. It is thus assumed that he was not active within the city and only produced for a very limited rural area. In contrast to many of his contemporaries, he did not paint ''[[lekanis|lekanes]]'' but various large formats, such as [[amphora]]e, ''[[kantharos|kantharoi]]'', chalices, ''[[oinochoe|oinochoai]]'' and plates.
