In Greek mythology, Dryops was a son of the river god Spercheus and the Danaid Polydora. He reigned in the neighborhood of Mount Oeta and was believed to have given his name to the people Dryopes; the people, original inhabitants of the banks of River Spercheios, retained the name after having transferred to Asine in Peloponnesus.

Dryops had one daughter, Dryope, and also a son Cragaleus.
