In Greek mythology, Echephron (Ancient Greek: Ἐχέφρων) was a prince of Pylos, son of King Nestor and — in the Homeric tradition — of Eurydice. He appears among Nestor's living sons when the old king welcomes Telemachus and leads a dawn sacrifice to Athena.

I.Son of Nestor
Echephron was one of the sons of Nestor of Gerenia at sandy Pylos. Homer and Apollodorus place him among brothers that include Thrasymedes, Stratichus (Stratius), Aretus, Perseus, Peisistratus, and Antilochus (who fell at Troy), with sisters such as Pisidice and Polycaste. Apollodorus names Anaxibia rather than Eurydice as Nestor's wife — a queen-identity clash recorded elsewhere in the atlas.
In Odyssey Book 3, when Nestor gathers his sons to propitiate Athena after Telemachus' arrival, Echephron comes forth from the palace chambers with Stratichus, Perseus, Thrasymedes, Aretus, and Peisistratus; they seat the guest beside them while the old king speaks and the household prepares the sacrifice.
