Pródico de Ceos (gr. Πρόδικος Κεῖος Pródikos Keíos; h. 465-h. 395 a. C.) nacido en el poblado de Yulis, en la isla egea de Ceos (una de las Cícladas, en el mar Egeo), fue un filósofo griego, que formó parte de la primera generación de sofistas. Fue contemporáneo a Sócrates, por lo que pertenece por tanto a los llamados filósofos presocráticos. Su enseñanza consistía en gramática y retórica.
