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.[1]

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.
