Tryphon (Τρύφων)(ca. 60 BC‑10 BC) was a Greek grammarian who lived and worked in Alexandria. He was a contemporary of Didymus Chalcenterus.
He wrote several specialized works on aspects of language and grammar, from which only a handful of fragments now survive. These included treatises on word-types, dialects, accentuation, pronunciation, and orthography, as well as a grammar (Tekhné grammatiké) and a dictionary. The two extant works that bear his name, On Meters and On Tropes, may or may not be by him.
