'''''Sikyonios''''' or '''''Sikyonioi''''' ({{lang-el|ΣικυῶνιοςΣικυώνιος/ΣικυῶνιοιΣικυώνιοι}}), translated as ''The Sicyonian(s)'' or ''The Man from [[Sicyon]]'', is an [[Ancient Greek comedy]] by [[Menander]]. About half of the play has survived in fragments of papyrus used to stuff several mummies in the cemetery of Medinet-el-Ghoran in the [[Faiyum]], where they were discovered in 1901 by [[Pierre Jouguet]]. The first acts are almost completely lost, but the rest, although the manuscript is often corrupt, lacunose and hard to read, allows a fair reconstruction of the plot.
