thumb|One of 6 helmets discovered in Olanesti, [[Moldova, from Zopyrion's army]] Zopyrion () (died 331 BC) was a Macedonian general.
Zopyrion was made a governor either of Thrace or of Pontus by Alexander the Great. In 331 BC, he led an invasion of Scythian lands, "thinking that, if he did not attempt something, he should be stigmatized as indolent".
