Telecleides was an Athenian Old Comic poet, and dates to the 440s and 430s BCE. Comedy was one of two principal dramatic forms in ancient Greece the other being Tragedy. Only six titles and a few fragments of his plays survive. One of his plays was The Amphictyons, in which Telecleides presented a Golden Age of impossibly effortless plenty. The Amphictyons' is one of the few remaining works of Telecleides of Greece.

The standard edition of the fragments is Rudolf Kassel and Colin Austin (eds. ), Poetae Comici Graeci.
