In Greek mythology, Guneus or Gouneus (Ancient Greek: Γουνεύς, from gounos "fruitful land") was leader of the Aenianes (Enienes) and Perrhaebians in the Trojan War. Homer says he brought twenty-two ships from Cyphus; after the scatter at Caphereus he went to Libya and settled near the Cinyps River. He is distinct from Guneus of Pheneus, father of Laonome.

I.Catalogue captain
According to Homer, "Guneus brought two and twenty ships from Cyphus, and he was followed by the Enienes and the valiant Peraebi, who dwelt about wintry Dodona" and the ploughland by the Titaressus (Iliad 2.748–755). Apollodorus counts Guneus son of Ocytus among the captains of the Trojan muster (Epitome 3.14). Homer does not record his pedigree; elsewhere his parents are called Ocytus and Aurophyte (or Tauropoleia / Hippodameia), and in a rare account his father is Cyphos, eponym of Cyphus.
Guneus was an obscure character, though his tribal followers (Aenianians and Perrhaebians) are usually placed in northwestern Greece. Hyginus blunders his name as Cycnus and places his residence at Argos.
II.Return to Libya
Guneus survived the war. After Troy fell, of those shipwrecked at Caphereus some drifted one way and some another; Apollodorus and the scholiasts say Guneus went to Libya, left his own ships, came to the Cinyps river, and dwelt there — a plain settlement in the Epitome's roll of the lesser Returns (Epitome 6.15, 6.15a).
III.Homonyms
This atlas entry (guneus-aenian) is the Aenianian Catalogue captain and Libyan settler. The Homeric spelling Gouneus of Cyphus is tracked separately in the atlas as gouneus-cyphus for the Iliad muster notice. Distinct from Guneus of Pheneus, father of Laonome wife of Alcaeus and grandfather of Amphitryon (Apollodorus 2.4.5; Pausanias 8.14.2).
