Alcyoneus was one of the Gigantes in Greek mythology. In the Gigantomachy, the war between the Giants and the Olympians, Alcyoneus was slain by Heracles.

Exoplanet Kepler-440b was discovered on 6 January 2015 and was informally named Alcyoneus.

A relief of Alcyoneus is part of the Gigantomachy Frieze in Berlin's Pergamon Museum.
