Cyclops (Ancient Greek: Κύκλωψ, romanized: Kúklōps) is an ancient Greek satyr play by Euripides, based closely on an episode from the Odyssey. It is likely to have been the fourth part of a tetralogy presented by Euripides in a dramatic festival in 5th Century BC Athens, although its intended and actual performance contexts are unknown. The date of its composition is unknown, but it was probably written late in Euripides' career. It is the only complete satyr play extant.
