Ἰφιγένεια ἐν Ταύροις ("Iphigeneia en Taurois" in Roman script, usually Iphigenia in Tauris in English) is a tragedy by Euripides.

The Romanized form of the Greek title reads Īphigéneia en Taurois, and it is sometimes referred to simply as Iphigenia (in English) or Iphigeneia (in Dutch and Afrikaans, as in the original Greek).

Related to, but not to be confused with, Euripides's other tragedy about Iphigenia, (Iphigenia in Aulis)
