In Greek mythology, Thelxinoë (Θελξινόη) (English translation: "mind charming") was a name attributed to three individuals.

  • Thelxinoë, one of the sirens. Also known as Thelxiope or Thelxiepia.[1]
  • Thelxinoë, one of the four muses recognised in later Greek tradition. Her sisters were Aoede, Arche, and Melete.[2] The moon of Jupiter Thelxinoe is named after her.
