Japigët ose iapyges kanë qenë një fis antik ilir, i shpërngulur nga Gadishulli Ballkanik në pjesën jugore të Gadishullit Apenin (sot Italia Jugore) rreth fillimit të mijëvejeçarit të fundit të p.e.r. Ata fillimisht ishin vendosur në Gadishullin e Garganos, pastaj në Pulia (Kalabria antike) dhe për tu vendosur përfundimisht në jug të saj, në hyrjen e Ngushticës së Otrantos. Autorët antik emrin e japygëve e kanë përdorur si emërtim përmbledhës për një varg popullsish: mesapët, salentinët, kalabrët, peucetët (pericezët) dhe daunët, që banonin në Pulia. Shpesh emri i japigëve është ngatërruar me mesapët që u vendosën në këtë krahinë më vonë se japigët, por që shumë shpejt kaluan në epërsi ndaj tyre.

Iapyges apo edhe Iapygians sic njihen kjo popullsi protoindoeuropeane e cila pati banuar ne token e Italise Jugore (Apulia Pulia moderne) perpara se te asimiloheshin nga romaket.
