In Greek mythology, Solymus (Solymos) was the ancestral hero and eponym of the tribe Solymi in Pisidia, Lycia. He was a son of either Zeus or Ares; his mother's name is variously given as Chaldene, Caldene "daughter of Pisidus", Calchedonia or Chalcea "the nymph".

Solymus is known to have been married to his own sister Milye, also a local eponymous heroine. A certain Cragus is given as Milye's second husband.

A possibly different Solymus is mentioned by Ovid as a Phrygian companion of Aeneas and eponym of Sulmona.
