 | The Battle of Tindarys is a naval battle of the First Punic War, which took place off Tindarys (modern Tindari) in 257 BC. |
| Tindarys was a Sicilian town founded as a Greek colony in 396 BC located on the high ground overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea in the Gulf of Patti. |
| Hiero II, tyrant of Syracuse, allowed Tindarys to become a base for the Carthaginians; however, after this battle, which took place in the waters between Tindarys and the Aeolian Islands, with Marcus Atilius Regulus at the command of the Roman fleet, the town fell to Rome. |
