Le Cyclope est un drame satyrique d'Euripide, probablement ecrit vers 424 ou 425 av. J.-C. C'est le seul exemple de ce genre antique a avoir integralement survecu. Il traite de l'episode d'Ulysse vainqueur du Cyclope.

La date de creation du Cyclope est incertaine. Georg Kaibel estima que la piece etait vraisemblablement une oeuvre de jeunesse d'Euripide, anterieure a toutes ses tragedies (donc anterieure a Alceste datee de 431 av. J.-C) en raison de la presence dans la piece de themes presents dans Alceste et l'Hecube mais developpes de maniere moins habile.
