The "Kleophon Painter" is the name given to an anonymous Athenian vase painter in the red figure style who flourished in the mid-to-late 5th century BC. He is thus named because one of the works attributed to him bears an inscription in praise of a youth named Kleophon.

He appears to have been originally from the workshop of Polygnotos, and in turn to have taught the so-called Dinos Painter. Three vases suggest a collaboration with the Achilles Painter.
A number of black figure works have also been attributed to him by some scholars.
