In Greek mythology, Astypalaea (Ancient Greek: Ἀστυπάλαια [astiˈpalea]) or Astypale was a Phoenician princess as the daughter of King Phoenix[1] and Perimede, daughter of Oeneus; thus she was the sister of Europa.

In some accounts, her mother was called Telephe and her siblings were Peirus and again Europe.
