"Comica Adespota" is not a single author but a scholarly term for anonymous fragments of ancient Greek comedy. These fragments date from the 5th to the 3rd centuries BCE, a period spanning the Old, Middle, and New Comedy traditions. They survive without any attribution to a known playwright.

The fragments are preserved indirectly through quotations by later ancient writers and on pieces of papyrus. Modern scholars have compiled them into dedicated collections, such as the Fragmenta Comicorum Graecorum and the Poetae Comici Graeci. The content of these fragments is varied, including jokes, philosophical remarks, parodies, and glimpses into daily life and mythology.

The Comica Adespota are historically important because they provide crucial evidence for Greek comedy beyond the works of major surviving authors like Aristophanes and Menander. According to scholars, they help trace the evolution of comic style and themes across centuries. These anonymous texts also serve as valuable sources for studying the ancient Greek language in its colloquial and poetic forms. Collectively, they represent the vast, mostly lost world of ancient comic theater, and their study remains a fundamental part of classical philology.
