Theodoridas of Syracuse () was a lyric and epigrammatic poet from Syracuse, Magna Graecia, who is supposed to have lived at the same time as Euphorion, about 235 BC; for, on the one hand, Euphorion is mentioned in one of the epigrams of Theodoridas,Ep. ix and, on the other hand, Clement of Alexandria quotes a verse of Euphorion , where Schneider suggests the emendation .Clement of Alexandria, Stromata v. p. 673
