Erifila ou Erifile (em grego: Ἐριφύλη, transl. Eriphylē), na mitologia grega, foi a irmã de Adrasto, rei de Argos, casada com Anfiarau, um famoso adivinho da corte. O colar de Harmonia, que lhe foi ofertado por Polinices, pretendente ao trono de Tebas, a fez convencer seu marido a participar da guerra contra Tebas, mesmo sabendo que ele nela morreria.
