Agenor (Ancient Greek: Ἀγήνωρ or Αγήνορι Agēnor; English translation: 'heroic, manly') was the name of the following Greek mythological characters:
 * Agenor, son of Poseidon and king of Tyre.
 * Agenor of Argos, son of either Ecbasus, Triopas, or Phoroneus.
 * Agenor, an Egyptian prince as one of the sons of King Aegyptus. He married the Danaid Cleopatra, daughter of King Danaus of Libya either by the hamadryads Atlanteia or Phoebe. Agenor was killed along with his brothers, except Lynceus, by their wives during their wedding night at the behest of their father. Agenor was the son of Aegyptus by an Arabian woman and thus full brother of Istrus, Chalcodon, Chaetus, Diocorystes, Alces, Alcmenor, Hippothous, Euchenor and Hippolytus. In some accounts, he could be a son of Aegyptus either by Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus, or Isaie, daughter of King Agenor of Tyre.

According to various accounts, Aeolus yoked in marriage his sons, including Agenor, and daughters in order to preserve concord and affection among them.
