Euephenes (Greek: Εὐφάντης; fl. 93 BC) was a Macedonian rebel and pretender who attempted to lead an uprising against Roman rule in the province of Macedonia during the late Roman Republic.

The status he claimed is debated, but it is thought that he stylised himseld as a king since he claimed Antigonid heritage but the link to the family is unproven and most likely just made to gather support.
