In Greek mythology, Iapyx or Iapux was Aeneas's healer during the Trojan War and then escaped to Italy after the war and founded Apulia.

He was either:

the son of Lycaon, which would make him the brother of Daunius and Peucetius (who went as leaders of a colony to Italy - Anton. Lib. 31)
a Cretan, from whom the Cretans who migrated to Italy derived the name of Iapyges, son of Daedalus either
- by his wife, thus making him a full-brother of Icarus (Harry Thurston Peck, Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities (1898, Serv. ad Aen. iii. 332).
- by another Cretan woman (Strab. vi.; Athen. xii.; Herod. vii. 170; Heyne, ad Virg. Aen. xi. 247).

Appears in Aeneid, Book XX, line(s) 391, 402
