Phormion (died c. 428 BC)

Athenian admiral. Phormion held a command in the expedition against Samos 440 BC, and was sent to besiege Potidaea in Chalcidice 432 BC. He won two brilliant victories over vastly superior Peloponnesian fleets in the gulf of Corinth 429 BC.

Phormion may have been tried and convicted for misuse of public funds 428 BC, the probable year of his death.
