Phlygonium or Phlygonion (Ancient Greek: Φλυγόνιον) was a city of ancient Phocis destroyed by Philip II of Macedon at the end of the Phocian War (346 BCE).[1][2] Pliny the Elder calls it Phlygone, and erroneously represents it as a city of Boeotia.[3]

Its site is tentatively located at the Palaiokastro (old castle) near Ano Tseresi.[4][5]
