In Greek mythology, Leipephilene (Greek: Λειπεφιλήνη) was the daughter of Iolaus and Megara. She was renowned for her beauty, which was compared to that of an Olympian goddess. She was the wife of Phylas and mother, by him, of Hippotes and Thero.

The name form "Leipephilene" is a corruption, and has been variously emended by some editors as "Leipephile" (Λειπεφίλη), "Hippophile" (Ἱπποφίλη) or "Deiphile" (Δηιφίλη). The precise original form remains unknown.
