In Greek mythology, Cynortas (Κυνόρτας) was the father of Oebalus.

Cynortas was the son of Amyclas by Diomede, and brother of Hyacinthus. After the death of his brother Argalus, he became king of Sparta and father of Oebalus or of Perieres. His tomb was shewn at Sparta not far from the Scias. (Paus. iii. 1. § 3, 13. § 1 ; Apollod. iii. 10. § 3; Schol. ad Eurip. Orest. 447.)
