크산티페(Ξανθίππη, 기원전 5~4세기)는 아테나이의 소크라테스의 아내이다. 3명의 아들을 두고 있다: 람프로클레스, 소프로니코스, 메넥세누스. 그녀는 소크라테스보다 40년 정도로 훨씬 더 어렸던 것으로 짐작된다.[1]

↑She must have been young enough to give birth to their three children Plato describes in his writings: In the Apology 34d, the sons are described as quite young: two of them "children", the other a "lad"; in Plato's Phaedo 60a, one of them is small enough to be held in his mother's arms. Both dialogues take place when Socrates is supposed to have been 70 years old.
