In Greek mythology, the name Evippus or Euippos (, meaning "having good horses") may refer to:
- Evippus, a Pleuronian prince as the son of King Thestius and Eurythemis, daughter of Cleoboea. He was the brother of Althaea, Leda, Hypermnestra, Iphiclus, Plexippus and Eurypylus. Evippus might have been killed by his nephew Meleager during the war of the Curetes and the Calydonians.
- Evippus, a Lycian who was killed by Patroclus in the Trojan War.
- Evippus, a son of Megareus and Iphinoe, brother of Timalcus and Euaechme. He was killed by the Cithaeronian lion.
