In Greek mythology, Ctesius (Ancient Greek: Κτήσιος means 'belonging to property, acquisition') may refer to three distinct characters:
Ctesius, king of the island called Syria and son of Ormenus. He was the father of Eumaeus. Ctesius, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with other 56 wooers. He, with the other suitors, was slain by Odysseus with the aid of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus. Ctesius or Ktesios, minor god of household.
