The Daughters of Cacophony are a fictional bloodline of vampires, from White Wolf Game Studio's Vampire: The Masquerade books and role-playing game.

Speculated to have origins in both the Malkavian and the Toreador clans, although rumours persist of links to the dark Baali bloodline. The Daughters are very few in number and reject association with either the Camarilla or the Sabbat. As their nickname "Sirens" suggests, the Daughters are known for their ability to deliver emotions through a form of song. They have a unique discipline called Melpominee (after Melpomene, muse of music) that does just that.

Only female vampires number among the Daughters of Cacophony. In nights past there were male members of this bloodline, variously called Sons of Cacophony, Baritones, and (lately) Brothers of Discord. Recently, all males, including transgendered members and castrati, were purged from the bloodline by the Daughters for reasons that have not been revealed.

As a result of this distraction, the difficulties of all a Daughters Perception rolls are increased by one. Additionally, a Daughters Alertness can never exceed three.
