Haliacmon (or Aliacmon, Ancient Greek: Ἁλιάκμων) was in Greek mythology a son of Oceanus and Thetis. He was a minor river god in his own right, of the eponymous Haliacmon in Macedonia. In other mythological traditions he was the son of Palaestinus and grandson of Poseidon. Methone may have been an offspring of Haliacmon.
