Cidyessus or Kidyessos () was a city of some importance, west of Ammonia in west-central ancient Phrygia, in the territory of the Setchanli Ova, or Mouse Plain; this large and fertile valley projects far into Phrygia Salutaris, but the city was in Phrygia Pacatiana.
The old native name may have been Kydessos, though it is Kidyessos on its coins. Modern scholars place its site near modern Çayhisar, Sinanpaşa district, Afyonkarahisar Province.
