Aulus Ofilius was a Roman jurist of equestrian rank who lived in the 1st century BC, during the late Roman Republic. A student of the jurist Servius Sulpicius Rufus, he went on to tutor later jurists including Marcus Antistius Labeo and Gaius Ateius Capito, and he counted both Cicero and Julius Caesar among his friends. He wrote extensive legal treatises, including a wide-ranging commentary on the Praetorian Edict, and his opinions are cited repeatedly in Justinian's Digest. According to Pliny the Elder he lived to the age of 115.
