Naukydes of Argos (4th century BCE) was a Greek sculptor from Argos.
Taught under Polykleitos, he created a statue of gold and ivory of Hebe for the temple of Hera in Argos; also, statues of Hecate, Hermes, of the poet Erinna, and Phrixus. The discobolus of Naukydes was identified by Ennio Quirino Visconti, as mentioned by Pliny.[1]
He eventually became teacher to Polykleitos the Younger, son of his old teacher.
