In Greek mythology, Crius (Kreios) was one of the Titans, a son of Uranus and Gaia. The least individualized among them, he was overthrown in the Titanomachy.

He was involved in the ten-year-long war between the Olympian gods and Titans. After Zeus (the leader of the Olympian) went to Gaia to ask for help and she said to release the Cyclopes and the hundred-handed ones, the Hecatonchires; with their aid, the war was lost; Crius was banished to the lower basement of Hades called Tartarus.

With Eurybia, he was the father of Pallas.
