In Greek mythology, Hipponous (Ἱππόνοος) referred to several people:

  • Hipponous, father of Capaneus and Periboea with Astynome.[1] He was son of Iocles, grandson of Astacus and great-grandson of Hermes and Astabe, a daughter of Peneus.[2]
  • Hipponous, one of the fifty sons of Priam,[3] the last Trojan whom Achilles killed before his death.[4]
  • Hipponous, an Achaean warrior killed by Hector.[5]
  • Hipponous, son of Triballus. He was the father of Polyphonte by Thrassa, the daughter of Ares and Tereine.[6]
  • Hipponous and Adrastus, two otherwise unknown sons of Heracles, were said to have thrown themselves into fire in obedience to an oracle of Apollo.[7]
  • Hipponous, another name for Bellerophon.[8]
