Alcetas I (Template:Lang-el), (390/385 – 370 BC) king of Epirus, was the son of Tharypus.

After his restoration, he allied with the Athenians, and with Jason of Pherae, the Tagus of Thessaly. In 373 BC, he appeared at Athens with Jason, for the purpose of defending Athenian general Timotheus, who, through their influence, was acquitted. Upon his death, the kingdom was divided between his two sons, Neoptolemus I and Arybbas.
