In [[Greek mythology]], '''Polydorus''' ([[Greek language|Greek]] Πολύδωρος - "Many gifts")referred to several different people.

#An Argive, son of [[Hippomedon]]. [[Pausanius]] lists him as one of the [[Epigoni]], who attacked [[Thebes, Greece|Thebes]] in retaliation for the deaths of their fathers, the [[Seven Against Thebes]], who died attempting the same thing.
#[[Polydorus (son of Cadmus)|Polydorus]], son of [[Cadmus]] and [[Harmonia (Greek_goddess)|Harmonia]], and father of [[Labdacus]] by his wife Nycteis, daughter of [[Nycteus]].
#A Trojan, and King [[Priam]]'s youngest son during the [[Trojan War]]. He was sent with gifts of jewelry and gold to the court of King [[Polymestor]] to be kept safe during the Trojan War. The fighting was getting vicious and Priam was frightened for the child's safety. After Troy fell, Polymestor threw Polydorus to his death to take the [[treasure]] for himself. [[Hecuba]], Polydorus' mother, eventually avenged her son. This story is depicted in ''[[Hecuba (play)|Hecuba]]'' by [[Euripides]].
#Another Trojan, and another son of Priam. As recounted in [[Homer]]'s ''[[Iliad]]'', this Polydorus was a son of Priam and [[Laothoe]], and fought during the Trojan War. He was slain by [[Achilles]].
