'''Eupolemus''' ({{Lang-el|ʾΕνπόλεμος}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/eupolemus|title=Eupolemus|website=Jewishvirtuallibrary.org|accessdate=7 August 2018}}</ref>) adalah sejarawan Yahudi Yunani paling awal.<ref>Mercer dictionary of the Bible By Watson E. Mills, Roger Aubrey Bullard Page 272 {{ISBN|978-0-86554-299-0}} (1990)</ref> Karyanya hanya terlestarikan dalam lima fragmen (atau mungkin enam fragmen) dalam tulisan [[Eusebius dari Kaisarea]] ''[[:en:Praeparatio Evangelica|Praeparatio Evangelica]]'' (disingkat ''Praep.''), dalam kutipan sejarawan [[:en:Alexander Polyhistor|Alexander Polyhistor]], dan dalam tulisan [[Klemens dari Aleksandria]] ''[[:en:Stromata|Stromata]]'' (disingkat ''Strom.'').
Perikop keenam yang oleh Polyhistor dikatakan dari Eupolemus (terlestarikan dalam catatan Eusebius) dianggap tidak pasti karena berbeda dari lima perikop lainnya dan biasanya disebut ''Pseudo-Eupolemus''.

Evidently Eupolemus was a friend of the Jewish ruler Judas Maccabee and a gifted diplomat as well, since he succeeded in his mission. He may have been a priest since he speaks at length in his writing of Solomon's temple. He composed his work in the year 158/157 B.C." (page 222 of ''Intertestamental Literature'', Martin McNamara,
