In Greek mythology, Coroebus (Greek: ????????) was the son of King Mygdon of Phrygia. He came to the aid of Troy during the Trojan War out of love for Princess Cassandra. During the Sack of Troy, Coroebus convinced some of his fellow soldiers to dress in enemy armor to disguise themselves. When he tried to defend Cassandra from rape by Ajax the Lesser, he was killed, either by Peneleos, Diomedes or Neoptolemus.

Coroebus of Elis (a local cook) was the first champion of the Ancient Olympic Games (776 B.C.), he won the sprint race.
