- For the flea beetle genus, see Agasicles (beetle).
Agasicles, Agesicles or Hegesicles (Αγασικλης, 'Αγησικλης, 'Ηγησικης) was a king of Sparta, the thirteenth of the line of Procles.
He was contemporary with the Agid Leon, and succeded his father Archidamus I, probably about 590 BC or 600. During his reign the Lacedaemonians carried on an unsuccessful war against Tegea, but prospered in their other wars. (Herod. i. 65; Paus. iii. 7, § 6, 3. §. 5.)
