In Greek mythology, Echemus (; , Ekhemos) was the Tegean king of Arcadia who succeeded Lycurgus.
== Family == Echemus was the son of Aeropus, son of King Cepheus. He was married to Timandra, daughter of Leda and Tyndareus of Sparta. Timandra bore him a son, Ladocus, before deserting Echemus for Phyleus, the king of Dulichium. This lineage made Echemus a part of the Greek mythical family Atreidai, which stood in direct opposition to the Heracleidae, and emphasised the "pre-dorian" ancestry of the Tegeans and Arcadians.
