In Greek mythology, Eteoclus (Ancient Greek: Ἐτέοκλος) was the son of Iphis.

== Mythology == Eteoclus participated in the war on Thebes by the Seven against Thebes, and was occasionally included on the list of the seven leaders. In Euripides' Suppliant Women, Adrastus describes him as a young, poor yet dignified person who would reject luxurious gifts from friends and was highly honored by fellow Argives.
