Buphagium or Bouphagion (Ancient Greek: Βουφάγιον) was a town of ancient Arcadia, in the district Cynuria, situated near the sources of the river Buphagus (Βουφάγος), a tributary of the Alpheius, which formed the boundary between the territories of Heraea and Megalopolis.[1]

Its site is located near the modern Kryo Nero.[2][3]
