In Greek mythology, Idmon (Ancient Greek: Ἴδμων, lit. 'having knowledge of') was an Argonaut seer.

Family
Allegedly a son of Apollo, he had Abas (or Ampycus) as his mortal father. His mother was Asteria, daughter of Coronus, or Cyrene, or else Antianeira, daughter of Pheres. By Laothoe, he had a son Thestor.
Mythology
Idmon foresaw his own death in the Argonaut expedition, but joined anyway. During the outbound voyage of Argo, a boar killed him in the land of the Mariandyni, in Bithynia.
In 559 BC, the citizens of Megara Heraclea (today's Eregli) built a temple over Idmon's grave.
