Glaucippe (Ancient Greek: Γλαυκίππη), in Greek mythology, is a name that may refer to:

• Glaucippe, a Libyan princess as one of the Danaïdes, 50 daughters of King Danaus and the naiad Polyxo. She married (and murdered) Potamon, son of Aegyptus and Caliadne. This Glaucippe is also mentioned by Hyginus. Due to his list of Danaids and Aegyptiads being poorly preserved, her husband's name is almost illegible here: *Niavius.
• Glaucippe, daughter of Xanthus and possible mother of Hecuba.

Notes

1. Apollodorus, 2.1.5.
2. Hyginus, Fabulae 170.
