The name Peirazomene, meaning "she who is being tested," is not attested as an ancient Greek author. It is the title of a lost comedy by the playwright Menander, who lived from approximately 342/41 to 290 BCE. There is no biographical record for a poet from the Hellenistic or Roman period known by this name.

The sole work associated with the name is Menander's comedy Peirazomene, or The Girl with Her Hair Cut Short. The play survives only in fragmentary form, known through papyrus discoveries and references in the works of other ancient authors.

The significance of the name lies entirely with Menander's play. As a leading figure of New Comedy, Menander profoundly influenced later Roman dramatists such as Plautus and Terence. The plot of Peirazomene, which involves a soldier and a case of mistaken identity, is a characteristic example of the genre's conventions.
