Antiphon (disambiguation)

In music, an antiphon is a responsory by a choir or congregation in Christian music.

Antiphon was also a common personal name in Ancient Greece, with the result that it is not always easy for scholars to distinguish between different bearers of the name:

• Antiphon (orator), a fifth-century Athenian orator, one of the Ten Attic Orators and a significant political figure
• Antiphon the Sophist, the writer of the Sophistic works of Antiphon, believed by many scholars to have been none other than Antiphon the Orator
• the Antiphon who wrote a treatise on the Interpretation of Dreams, possibly the same man as Antiphon the Sophist
• Antiphon (tragic poet), a tragic poet, incorrectly confused with Antiphon the Sophist by Plutarch and Philostratus
• Antiphon (epic poet), mentioned in the Suda
• Antiphon brother of Plato, brother of the philosopher Plato
• Antiphon (arsonist), mentioned in a speech of the orator Demosthenes
• Antiphon (writer), author of a lost treatise on men distinguished for virtue
• Antiphon, a writer on agriculture, mentioned by Athenaeus

The word may also refer to:

• Antiphon (album), a 2013 album by Midlake
