Lycophron (Ancient Greek: Λυκόφρων), son of Jason of Pherae, was a co-tyrant of Pherae (355/4-352 BC), ruling alongside his brother Peitholaus. He was also one of the murderers of Alexander of Pherae.^[1]

Lycophron and Peitholaus succeeded their elder brother Tisiphonus as co-tyrants of Pherae in c. 355/4 BC.

In 352 BC, Lycophron and Peitholaus surrendered Pherae to Philip II of Macedon and fled with 2000 mercenaries to Phayllus, the Phocian leader.^[2] While in exile, Lycophron and Peitholaus supported Spartans in the Peloponnese, supplying them with 150 cavalry.^[3]
