Ceto (; ) is a primordial sea goddess in Greek mythology, the daughter of Pontus and his mother, Gaia. As a mythological figure, she is considered to be one of the most ancient deities, and bore a host of monstrous children fathered by Phorcys, another child of Gaia and Pontus. The small Solar System body 65489 Ceto was named after her, and its satellite after Phorcys.

刻托（希臘語：Κητος，英語：Ceto，“海怪”）是希腊神话中的一个凶恶的海怪，蓋亞和蓬托斯的女儿。 她是叵测的大海给人带来的危险的化身，也是未知的陆地以及诡异生物的象征。在希腊语中，“刻托”一词最终被用来代表所有的海怪，直到今天。她的丈夫是福耳库斯，他们拥有众多的孩子，统称为“福耳库德斯”（Phorcydes）。 在希腊艺术中她被表现为半蛇半鱼，鲸鱼座（Cetus）来源于她。
