Esoptron (stylized ΕΣΟΠΤΡΟΝ or Έσοπτρον, the Greek word for "(inner) mirror") is the second full-length album by Septic Flesh, released in 1995 and reissued in June 2013 by Season of Mist.

This album is considered Septic Flesh's most experimental and progressive release. It is the only Septic Flesh album not to feature guitarist/composer Christos Antoniou, who took a leave of absence from the band during this period. Though someone named "Kostas" is credited as a session drummer, all drums were programmed.
