In Greek mythology, the name Damastor (Ancient Greek: Δαμάστωρ means "tamer") may refer to:

• Damastor, a Giant. During the Gigantomachy, he used a rock into which a fellow Giant Pallas had been changed as a throwing weapon.^[1]
• Damastor, a son of Nauplius, father of Peristhenes and through him grandfather of Dictys and Polydectes.^[2]
• Damastor, father of a defender of Troy, Tlepolemus.^[3]
• Damastor, father of Agelaus, one of the Suitors of Penelope.^[4]
• Damastor, another Suitor of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with other 56 wooers.^[5] He, with the other suitors, was shot dead by Odysseus with the help of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.^[6]

The patronymic Damastorides "son of Damastor" is used in reference to Agelaus and Tlepolemus but also to an otherwise unnamed defender of Troy killed by Agamemnon.^[7]
