Chaeremon (; , gen.: Χαιρήμονος) was an Athenian dramatist of the first half of the fourth century BC. He was generally considered a tragic poet like Choerilus. Aristotle said his works were intended for reading, not for representation. According to the Suda, Chaeremon was also a comic poet, and the title of at least one of his plays (Achilles Thersitoktonos, "Achilles slayer of Thersites") seems to indicate that it was a satyric drama. His Centaurus (or Centaur) is described by Aristotle as a rhapsody in all kinds of metres. His other known plays are Alphesiboea, Dionysus, Io, Minyae, Odysseu
