In Greek mythology, Pallas (Πάλλας) was a son of Lycaon and the eponymous founder of the Arcadian town of Pallantion. He was the teacher of Athena, who, according to local myths, was born in Aliphera. He also had a daughter Chryse, who married Dardanus and brought the Palladium to Troy. Stone statues of Pallas and his grandson Evander were extant in Pallantium in Pausanias' times.

Roman authors used Pallas' name to provide an etiology for the name of the hill Palatium.
