In Greek mythology, the name Thronia (Ancient Greek: Θρωνία) or Thronie (Θρωνίη) may refer to:
- Thronia, daughter of King Belus of Egypt, and the mother of Arabus, the eponym of Arabia, by Hermes.1
- Thronia, a Naiad nymph, mother of Abderus by Poseidon2 and the eponym of the city Thronion in Opuntian Locris.3 Her father was possibly the river god Nestus in Bistonia4 and thus probably the sister of Callirhoe.5
