Myrine was an Amazon Queen of the North African Libyan (Gorgon) Amazons. The Libyan Amazons predate the Themiskyran Amazons. The city of Myrine/Myrina on the west coast of Asia Minor may be named after her.

The name "Myrine" was also a honorific title taken by each Libyan Amazon Queen in honour of her role in resettling her people and repairing relations with the Gorgons.

She subdued the island of Lesbos and built its chief city, Mytilene, named after her sister who'd assisted her in the campaign.
