In Greek mythology, Ilus (; ) is the name of several mythological characters associated directly or indirectly with Troy:

Ilus, the son of Dardanus, and the legendary founder of Dardania.
Ilus, the son of Tros, and the legendary founder of Troy.
Ilus, son of Mermerus, and grandson of Jason and Medea. This Ilus lived at Ephyra, between Elis and Olympia. In a tale recounted in the Odyssey, he played host to Odysseus, but when Odysseus requested from Ilus poison for his arrows, he declined, from fear of divine vengeance.
