In Greek mythology, there were several people named Anthedon (Ἀνθηδών) — at least two male and one female.

  • Anthedon, possible father of Glaucus, a sea god — whose mother might have been Alcyone.
  • Anthedon, son of Dius and grandson of Anthas, thus great-grandson of Poseidon and Alcyone, eponym of the town Anthedon in Boeotia.
  • Anthedon, the Naiad nymph of Anthedon, Boeotia.

    • The USS Anthedon, a submarine tender ship of the United States Navy, was named after this mythological figure with seagoing associations.
