In Greek mythology, Diorês (Ancient Greek: Διώρης) referred to four different people.
- Diorês, father of Automedon who was the charioteer of Achilles during the Trojan War.
- Diorês, leader of the Elis contingent during the Trojan War. He was the son of Amarynceus (Diorês Amaryngkëidês). Diores was killed by Peiros.
- Diorês, a Trojan prince who participated in the games held by the exiled Aeneas in Sicily. He was killed by Turnus, the man who opposed Aeneas in Italy.
