Tafluprost, sold under the brand name Zioptan among others, is a medication used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It is used as an eye drop. It may be used alone or with other medications.

Common side effects include eye redness, itchiness, eyelash growth, and blurry vision. Other side effects may include iritis and macular edema. It is a prostaglandin analogue which is believed to work by increasing the outflow of aqueous fluid from the eye.

Tafluprost was approved for medical use in the United States in 2012 and Canada in 2014. In the United States it costs about 150 USD per month as of 2021. In Canada it was less cost effective as compared to bimatoprost in 2020.
