In Greek mythology, Callirrhoe, Callirhoe, Callirrhoë, or occasionally Kallirroi (/kəˈlɪroʊiː/; Ancient Greek: Καλλιρρόη, romanized: Kallirróē, lit. 'beautiful flow') may refer to the following characters:
- Callirrhoe, one of the Oceanid daughters of Oceanus and Tethys, and the mother of Geryon by Chrysaor.[1]

- Callirhoe, the naiad daughter of the river god Scamander, wife of Tros,[3][4] and thus, mother of Ilus, Assaracus, Ganymede, Cleopatra[5] and possibly, Cleomestra.[6][7][8]
- Callirhoe, daughter of Meander and consort of Car.[9]
- Callirhoe, the naiad daughter of the river-god Nestus (Nessus) and mother of Biston, Odomas and Edonus by Ares.[10] She was probably the sister of Thronia, another Thracian naiad.[11]
- Callirhoe, a maiden who was loved by Coresus.[12]
- Callirrhoe, daughter of the river-god Achelous, who betrothed her to Alcmaeon.[13]
