In Greek mythology, Hicetaon may refer to:
- Hicetaon, a son of King Laomedon of Troy, thus a brother of Priam and one of the Trojan elders.[1][2][3] After Paris kidnapped Helen of Troy, Hicetaon suggested that she be returned to Menelaus to avoid war. His sons were: Melanippus, who died in the war Hicetaon had sought to avert;[4][5] Critolaus, husband of Priam's daughter Aristomache;[6] Thymoetes (in the Aeneid only, otherwise given as his brother);[7] and, possibly, Antenor.[8]
- Hicetaon, prince of Methymna, Lesbos, a son of Lepetymnus and Methymna. He and his brother Hypsipylus defended their home city against Achilles and fell in the battle.[9]
