Scironides (; born mid-5th century BC – died after 411 BC) was an Athenian naval commander.

== Bibliography == In 412 BC, Scironides was appointed commander of the Athenian and Argive fleet alongside Phrynichus and Onomacles, and was immediately dispatched to Asia Minor. After a victorious engagement against the inhabitants of Miletus—who had received assistance from the Persian satrap Tissaphernes and the Spartan Chalcideus—the three generals began to lay siege to the city. However, when the Peloponnesian and Sicilian fleets arrived to aid the Milesians, they withdrew to Samos on Phrynichus' recommendation.
