Neocleides (also Neoclides; Ancient Greek: Νεοκλείδης, Neokleidēs; fl. 4th century BC) was an ancient Greek mathematician. He was a younger contemporary of Plato and Leodamas of Thasos and himself served at the Platonic Academy. He also taught Leon.[1] Otherwise, not much is known about him.[2][3]

Of Neocleides and his pupil Leon also, we know no more than the Eudemian summary tells us, in which the only important fact is that Leon wrote an improved ‘Elements’ and treated particularly of diorismus.
