In Greek mythology, Crisus (also spelled Crissus; Ancient Greek: Κρῖσος) was a son of Phocus and the twin brother of Panopeus. With Antiphateia, daughter of Naubolus, he became the father of Strophius, and was therefore the grandfather of Pylades. He is also said to have founded the town of Crissa in Phocis, which took its name from him.
