Anicius Manlius Torquatus Severinus Boethius bol antický kresťanský filozof a spisovateľ. Narodil sa v Ríme v rodine konzula. Sám však slúžil ako vládny úradník na ostrogótskom kráľovskom dvore. Neskôr ho ostrogótsky kráľ Teodorich Veľký dal popraviť kvôli podozreniu zo sprisahania. Je autorom významného filozofického diela De consolatione philosophiae , ktoré napísal vo väzení pred popravou. Prekladal a komentoval Aristotelove logické spisy.
Boethia označujú za „posledného Rimana a prvého scholastika“; pripravil cestu stredovekej scholastike. Wikipedia
