In Greek mythology, the name Eurythemis (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυθέμιδος) may refer to the following women:
- Eurythemis, daughter of Cleoboea. According to the mythographer Apollodorus, she was the wife of King Thestius of Pleuron and mother of Althaea, Leda, Hypermnestra, Iphiclus, Evippus, Plexippus and Eurypylus.
- Eurythemis, daughter of Acastus, consort of Actor and mother of Ancaeus (who other sources call the son of Lycurgus).
