Aristocreon the Historian (Ἀριστοκρέων ὁ ἱστορικός) was a 5th-century BCE Greek historian of the Classical period. No details of his life survive.

A single work is attributed to him: On the Island of Cyprus (Περὶ Κύπρου). It is preserved only in a brief fragment cited by Athenaeus, which mentions the Cypriot city of Lapethus [1][2].

Aristocreon is an obscure figure, significant only as a representative of minor local historians (horographoi) whose works are now lost. His fragment suggests a focus on regional geography or history. He appears in modern catalogs of fragmentary Greek historians but is not a subject of independent study [1][2].
