In Greek mythology, the name Euchenor may refer to:
- Son of the seer Polyeidos and Eurydameia, brother of Cleitus, from Corinth. The brothers participated in the campaign of the Epigoni and afterwards fought in the Trojan War.[1] Polyeidos had predicted that Euchenor would either die of an illness in his home city, or fall at Troy; Euchenor chose to go to the war and was eventually killed by Paris.[2] Alternately, Euchenor was a grandson of Polyeidos; he was said to have dedicated a sacred image to Dionysus, surnamed Dasyllius, at Megara.[3]
- A son of Aegyptus, who married and was killed by Iphimedousa, daughter of Danaus.[4]
- Father, by Phlogea, of King Echetus of Epirus.[5]
