Οἰδίπους ἐπὶ Κολωνῷ (Oidipous epi Kolōnō, Latin: Oedipus Coloneus), or Oedipus at Colonus, is a play by Sophocles. It was written shortly before Sophocles' death in 406 BCE, and produced by his grandson (also called Sophocles) at the Festival of Dionysus in 401 BCE. The play describes the end of Oedipus' tragic life.

Oedipus at Colonus is one of the three "Theban" plays of Sophocles, treating the story of Oedipus and his children. However, the three plays were not created as a trilogy, and were written out of chronological sequence at different times in Sophocles' career.
one or more editions are available in a spoken word format.
