In Greek mythology, the name Zeuxippus (Ancient Greek: Ζεύξιππος) may refer to:

Zeuxippus, son of Apollo

"After Phaestus in obedience to an oracle migrated to Crete, the next king is said to have been Zeuxippus, the son of Apollo and the nymph Syllis. On the death of Zeuxippus, Agamemnon led an army against Sicyon and king Hippolytus, the son of Rhopalus, the son of Phaestus."
