'''Naucratis''' (nŏk´retĬs), was an ancient Greek city in Egypt, on the Canopic branch of the Nile, 45 mi (72 km) SE of [[Alexandria]]. It was probably given to colonists from nine Greek cities, including among other [[Miletus]] and [[Corinth]], by Pharaoh Psamtik in the [[7th century BC]] and was the first [[Ancient Greece|Greek]] settlement in Egypt.

The rise of Alexandria and the shifting of the Nile led to its decline. The site has been excavated, revealing pottery of a Greek type and ruins of [[Greek temple]]s.
