Aoede /eɪˈiːdiː/, also known as Jupiter XLI, is a natural satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered by a team of astronomers from the University of Hawaiʻi led by Scott S. Sheppard in 2003. It received the temporary designation S/2003 J 7.

Aoede is about 4 kilometres in diameter, with an estimate as high as 10 km. The 4 km Minor Planet Center estimate is based on 74 observations for the absolute magnitude (H), while the 10 km estimate is based on 6 observations.
