Calliphon (or Callipho, ) was a Greek philosopher, who probably belonged to the Peripatetic school and lived in the 2nd century . He is mentioned several times and condemned by Cicero as making the chief good of man to consist in a union of virtue () and bodily pleasure (, ), or, as Cicero says, in the union of the human with the beast.
