The name Cydippe (Ancient Greek: Κυδίππη, Kudíppē) is attributed to four individuals in Greek mythology.
- Cydippe, mother of Cleobis and Biton.[1]
- Cydippe, also called Crybia or Lysippe,[2] the daughter of the nymph Hegetoria and Ochimus, king of Rhodes.

He did not return until Ochimus was old.[4]
