Ancient Discoveries was a television series that premiered on December 21, 2003, on The History Channel. The program focused on ancient technologies.

The program was a follow-up to a special originally broadcast in 2005 which focused on technologies from the Ancient Roman era such as the Antikythera mechanism and inventors such as Heron of Alexandria. Episodes of the regular series expanded to cover other areas such as Egypt, China and East Asia, and the Islamic world.
