In Greek mythology, Iolaus (in Greek, Ἰόλαος) was a Theban divine hero, son of Iphicles, Heracles's brother, and Automedusa.

He was famed for being Heracles's nephew and for helping with some of his Labors. Through his daughter Leipephilene he was considered to have fathered the mythic and historic line of the kings of Corinth, ending with Telestes.

A species of butterfly has been named after him.
