Epicydes or Epikudês () (3rd century BC) was a Greco-Carthaginian of Syracusan descent who first served in Hannibal's army and then led the Syracusans in their struggle against Rome during the Second Punic War.
A Syracusan by origin, he was born and educated at Carthage as the son of a Carthaginian mother. His grandfather, after having been banished by Agathocles of Syracuse, had settled at Carthage.
