Heracleides of Sinope ( Ancient Greek: Ἡρακλείδης ὁ Σινωπεύς) was a writer of ancient Greece. Under this name we possess a Greek epigram in the Greek Anthology. [1] It is not improbable that two other epigrams [2] are likewise his productions, though his native place is not mentioned there. He seems to have been a poet of some celebrity, as Diogenes Laërtius [3] mentions him as ἐπιγραμμάτων ποιητὴς λιγυρός. Diogenes Laërtius mentions fourteen persons of this name.
