Jason of Nysa (Greek: Ἰάσων ὁ Νυσαεύς, Iason o Nysaevs; 1st-century BC) was a Stoic philosopher, the son of Menecrates, and, on his mother's side, grandson of Posidonius, of whom he was also the disciple and successor at the Stoic school at Rhodes.^[1] He therefore flourished after the middle of the 1st century BC. The Suda lists four works of his:^[1]

• Βίοι Ἐνδόξων Vii Endoxon – Famous Lives
• Φιλοσόφων Διαδοχαί Filosofon Diadoche – Successions of Philosophers
• Βίος Ἑλλάδος Vios Ellados – Life of Greece, in 4 books
• Περὶ Ῥόδου Peri Rodou – On Rhodes

However, the Suda expresses doubt about whether the third book is his, and also credits Jason of Argos as having written a Life of Greece in 4 books.^[2]
