蚁垤（梵语：वाल्मीकि； Vālmīki [ʋɑːlmiːki]，?—?），又音译跋弥，是一位古印度梵语文学的先驱者诗人^[1]。相传是公元前5世纪左右^[2]^[3]到前一世纪^[4]的作品《罗摩衍那》的作者^[5]，其身份不详，有很多传说，有人说是语法学家，或古代仙人。

相传蚁垤出身婆罗门家庭，因静坐修行数年不动，身上成了蚂蚁窝的小土丘，故以蚁垤为名。另一种说法原本是个弃儿，被山中野人收养。长大成家后，以偷盗为生，专门抢劫朝圣者，后来被一位瑜伽士开导。一般专家倾向《罗摩衍那》是漫长历史累积的产物，由历代宫廷歌手和民间诗人不断添加扩充，直至最后定型。蚁垤有可能是史诗原始形式的“最初的诗人”，也可能只是一位虚构的作者。
