In Greek mythology, Pero (/ˈpɪroʊ, ˈpiːroʊ/; Ancient Greek: Πηρώ) may refer to the following women:

• Pero, consort of Poseidon who became the mother of Asopus, according to Acusilaus.^[1] She may be the same with Celusa, possible mother of Asopus by the same god.^[2]
• Pero, the beautiful daughter of Neleus.^[3]
• Pero, also known as Xanthippe, daughter of Myconus.^[4]

In Roman mythology, Pero is a woman who saves her imprisoned parent (mother or father, depending on the story version) from starvation by breastfeeding them.
