In Greek mythology, the name Thersander (/θɜːrˈsændər, -ˈsɑːn-/; Ancient Greek: Θέρσανδρος "bold man" derived from θέρσος thersos "boldness, braveness" and ανδρος andros "of a man") refers to several distinct characters:

Thersander, one of the Epigoni.[1]
Thersander, a son of Sisyphus, brother of Glaucus, Ornytion and Almus.[2] His own sons were Haliartus and Coronus, eponyms of Haliartus and Coronea respectively,[3] and also Proetus, himself father of Maera who was known to have died a maiden.[4]
Thersander, one of the Heracleidae, son of Agamedidas. His twin daughters Anaxandra and Lathria married the twin sons of Aristodemus, Procles and Eurysthenes.[5]
Thersander of Crete, father, by Arethusa, of a son Hyllus (not to be confused with the son of Heracles). Hyllus was killed by Aeneas in the Trojan War.[6]
Thersander, son of Polynices, killed by Telephus.
