Eurybiades (; ) was the Spartan navarch in charge of the Greek navy during the Second Persian invasion of Greece (480–479 BC).

==Biography== Eurybiades was the son of Eurycleides, and was chosen as commander in 480 BC because the Peloponnesian city-states led by Sparta, were worried about the growing power of Athens. Greece as a whole did not want to serve under Athenian rule, despite the Athenians' superior naval skill. For all the enmity between the two, Eurybiades was ultimately assisted by the Athenian naval commander Themistocles.
