Iophon (, fl. 428 BC – 405 BC) was a Greek tragic poet, son of Sophocles, and brother to Ariston.
Iophon gained the second prize in tragic competition in 428 BC, Euripides being first, and Ion third. He must have been alive in 405 BC, the date of the production of The Frogs of Aristophanes, in which he is spoken of as the only good Athenian tragic poet, although it is hinted that he owed much to his father's assistance. He wrote fifty plays, of which only a few fragments and the following eight titles remain: Achilles, Actaeon, Aulodoi ("The Flute-Singers"), Bacchae, Dexamenus, Iliou Persis ("The Sacking of Troy"), Pentheus, and Telephus.
