The Ichneutae (Ancient Greek: Ἰχνευταί Ichneutai trackers) also known as the Searchers Trackers or Tracking Satyrs is a fragmentary satyr play by the fifth-century BCE Athenian dramatist Sophocles. Three nondescript quotations in ancient authors were all that was known of the play until 1912 when the extensive remains of a second-century CE papyrus roll of the Ichneutae were published among the Oxyrhynchus Papyri.
