Aglaurus (; ) or Agraulus (; ) is a name attributed to three figures in Greek mythology. Aglaurus, the daughter of Actaeus, the first king of Attica. She married Cecrops and according to Apollodorus became the mother of Erysichthon, Agraulus, Herse, and Pandrosus; other authors, however, including Pausanias and Hyginus, state that the eldest daughter of the couple is "Aglaurus" (see next entry), not "Agraulus". Aglaurus, the daughter of Cecrops and the above Aglaurus, who was driven to suicide for ignoring a warning from the goddess Athena. In the Fabulae, attributed to Hyginus, Aglaurus is the child resulting from an incestuous relationship between Erectheus and his daughter Procris. This genealogy is otherwise unknown.
