Acrisius (Ancient Greek: ) was a mythical king of Argos, and a son of Abas and Aglaea (or Ocalea, depending on the author), grandson of Lynceus, great-grandson of Danaus. His twin brother was Proetus, with whom he is said to have quarreled even in the womb of his mother. When Abas died and Acrisius had grown up, he expelled Proetus from his inheritance; but, supported by his father-in-law Iobates, the Lycia, Proetus returned, and Acrisius was compelled to share his kingdom with his brother by giving Tiryns to him, while he retained Argos for himself.

Disappointed by his lack of luck in having a son, Acrisius consulted the oracle at Delphi, who warned him that he would one day be killed by his daughter's son. Danaë was childless and to keep her so, he imprisoned her in a bronze chamber open to the sky in the courtyard of his palace. Zeus had intercourse with her in the form of a golden shower (some accounts say it is her uncle, Proteus, who impregnates her). Danaë became pregnant with Perseus. Acrisius put the child and Danaë in a chest and threw it in the sea. Zeus asked Poseidon to calm the water; he did and Danaë and Perseus survived, washing up on the island of Seriphos. A fisherman named Dictys, brother of king Polydectes, found the pair and took care of them.

Perseus grew up to be a hero, killing Medusa and rescuing Andromeda. Perseus and Danaë returned to Argos but King Acrisius had gone to Larissa. When Perseus arrived in Larissa, he participated in some funeral games and accidentally struck Acrisius on the head with a discus, killing him and accomplishing the prophecy.

According to the Scholiast on Euripides, Acrisius was the founder of the Delphi amphictyony. Strabo believes that this amphictyony existed before the time of Acrisius, and that he was only the first who regulated the affairs of the amphictyons, fixed the towns which were to take part in the council, gave to each its vote, and settled the jurisdiction of the amphictyons.
