Spata (Greek: Σπάτα) is a town 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of downtown Athens, Greece.

Spata is situated in the middle of the Mesogeia plain, east of Mount Hymettus and west of the Aegean Sea coast.

Athens International Airport ("Eleftherios Venizelos") covers the eastern portion of Spata.

Nowadays viticulture is dwindling as a mass occupation, albeit supplanted by the emergence of many modern wineries that mostly specialize in vinifying the local Savatiano grape.

The area included the ancient Athenian demes of Erkhiá (Ερχιά), the birthplace of the historian and general Xenophon, and Kýthēros (Κύθηρος); a Mycenean cemetery was excavated at the southern edge of town by Panagiotis Stamatakis in the 1870s, the exhibits being hosted in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.

The town (then village) was re-populated by the medieval Tosk Albanian clan of Spata around the 15th century, after they emigrated from Epirus.
