In Greek mythology, the name Chryse (Ancient Greek: Χρύση or Χρυσῆ "golden") may refer to:

  • Chryse, daughter of Almus, a lover of Ares and mother of Phlegyas.
  • Chryse, a nymph or minor goddess of Lemnos (or of Chryse Island) who lured Philoctetes away from his companions which resulted in him being bitten by a snake. Some sources state that Chryse was a local epithet of Athena, and the misfortune happened to Philoctetes next to her altar, which the snake was guarding. The altar was said to have been set up by Jason.
  • Chryse, daughter of Pallas and consort of Dardanus.
  • Chryse, daughter of Timander, sister of Eurytione, Hellotis and Cottyto, from Corinth.
