Ἰφιγένεια ἐν Αὐλίδι (Iphigenia in Aulis or Iphigenia at Aulis) is a Greek tragedy by Euripides.
The Romanized form of the Greek title reads Īphigéneia en Aulídi, and it is sometimes referred to simply as Iphigenia (in English) or Iphigeneia (in Dutch and Afrikaans, as in the original Greek), however this must not be confused with Euripides's other, possibly the more influential, tragedy about Iphigenia, known as Iphigenia in Tauris.
