The statue of Procne and Itys (Greek: Πρόκνη και Ίτυς) is a Greek marble sculpture of the fifth century BC which once adorned the Acropolis of Athens, created by sculptor Alcamenes. The statue depicts the Athenian princess Procne about to strike her own son Itys dead as revenge against her husband Tereus. It was discovered near the temple of Athena-Nike during the early nineteenth century, and it is now exhibited in the Acropolis Museum of Athens, in Greece.
