Tryphosa of Tralles (Ancient Greek: Τρυφῶσα) was an Ancient Greek athlete who competed in the stadion footrace. She twice won at the Pythian Games and once at the Isthmian Games.[1]

Tryphosa was one of the daughters of Hermesianax of Tralles (Ancient Greek: Ἑρμησιάναξ), and sister of Hedea (Ancient Greek: Ἡδεα) and Dionysia (Ancient Greek: Διονυσία) who were also winners of agonistic competitions. Hermesianax erected a monument for his daughters dedicated to the Pythian Apollo at the sanctuary in Delphi.[2]
