Riphath (Hebrew ריפת, "crusher") was Gomer's second son (Gen. 10:3, 1 Chronicles 1:6), who was supposed by Josephus to have been the ancestor of the Paphlagonia. Pliny calls Riphath "Riphaci", and mentions a group of mountains named after him, the Riphaean range. Melo called him "Riphaces", while Solinus used "Piphlataci".

Some Irish traditions say Riphath is the ancestor of the Celts. It is also thought that Riphath may have lived among his brother. His last name would be Redpath, Ridpath or Reidpath, or an alternate spelling would be Diphath, because of an orthographic similarity in Hebrew.
