In Greek mythology, Menoetius referred to several different people.
- A son of Iapetus and Clymene. A glorious warrior who was insolent to Zeus. By some accounts he was smitten by Zeus with a lightning bolt on Mt. Triphyle, and in others he was merely crippled and banished to Tartarus. This Titan's name means "ruined strength".
- One of Hades' shepherds on Erythea. He told Geryon when Heracles stole Geryon's herd.
- Father of Patroclus and son of Actor, who may have been one of the Argonauts. (Iliad, XI, 765)
In astronomy, (617) Patroclus I Menoetius is a moon of the asteroid 617 Patroclus.
