In Greek mythology, Cromus (Ancient Greek: Κρῶμος, Κρόμου or Κρώμου) may refer to two different personages:

• Cromus, an Arcadian prince as one of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon either by the naiad Cyllene,^[1] Nonacris^[2] or by unknown woman. The city of Cromi in Arcadia was named after him.^[3]
• Cromus, a Corinthian son of Poseidon and the eponym of Crommyon. The latter was the home of the Crommyonian Sow which was subdued by the hero Theseus.^[4]
