The Nymphai Hyperboreioi (Ancient Greek: Νύμφαι Υπερβόρειοι, romanized: Nymphai Hyperboreioi, lit.

'Nymphs of Hyperborea'; Latin: Nymphae Hyperboreii) were nymphs in Greek mythology who presided over aspects of archery.

A daughter of Boreas, and one of the Hyperborean maidens, who were believed to have introduced the worship of Artemis in Delos.

The name Hecaerge signifies hitting at a distance; and it is not improbable that the story of the Hyperborean maiden may have arisen out of an attribute of Artemis, who bore the surname of Hecaerge.

A Hyperborean maiden, who together with Arge carried an offering, which had been vowed for the birth of Apollo and Artemis, to Eileithyia, at Delos.
