Hippotes (Ancient Greek: Ἱππότης) may refer to a number of people from Greek mythology:

  • Hippotes, father of Aeolus, the keeper of the Winds in the Odyssey. He was a mortal king.
  • Hippotes, a son of Phylas by Leipephilene, daughter of Iolaus, and a great-grandson of Heracles. When the Heracleidae, on their invading the Peloponnesus, were encamped near Naupactus, Hippotes killed the seer Carnus, in consequence of which the army of the Heracleidae began to suffer very severely, and Hippotes by the command of an oracle was banished for a period of ten years. He seems to be the same as the Hippotes who was regarded as the founder of Cnidus in Caria.
  • Hippotes, a son of Creon, who accused Medea of the murder she had committed on his sister and his father.
