土卫八又称为「伊阿珀托斯」(Iapetus或Japetus,希腊语:Ιαπετός),是土星的第3大卫星,同时也是太阳系中的第11大卫星,由乔凡尼·多美尼科·卡西尼于1671年发现。土卫八以其两半球面巨大的颜色差异而着称,而卡西尼号最近的发现则揭示了该卫星其他多处不寻常的特征,如其拥有一个环绕球体半圈的赤道脊。

Iapetus (/ˈæptəs/; Greek:Ιαπετός), or occasionally Japetus /ˈæptəs/, is the third-largest natural satellite of Saturn, eleventh-largest in the Solar System, and the largest body in the Solar System known not to be in hydrostatic equilibrium. Iapetus is best known for its dramatic 'two-tone' coloration. Discoveries by the Cassini mission in 2007 revealed several other unusual features, such as a massive equatorial ridge running three-quarters of the way around the moon.
