Lycastus or Lykastos ({{lang-grc|Λύκαστος}}), also known as Lycastum or Lykaston, a town in ancient Pontus, on a river bearing the same name. It was situated 20 stadia southeast of Amisus.^[1]^[2]^[3] Pomponius Mela calls the town Lycasto.^[3] Pherecydes spoke of a town of Lycastia, inhabited by Amazons, and situated between Themiscyra and Chalybia.^[4] The river Lycastus was but a small stream, which after a short course emptied itself into the Euxine close by the town of Lycastus.^[5]^[2]

The Lycastrus River is identified with the modern Merd Irmağı, in Asiatic Turkey, but the townsite is treated as unlocated, but likely along that river.^[6]
