Cilla (Ancient Greek: Κίλλα) in Greek mythology is the name of two women associated with Troy:

  • Cilla, a Trojan princess as the daughter of King Laomedon. Her mother was either Strymo, daughter of Scamander, or Placia, daughter of Otreus, or Leucippe.[1]
  • Cilla, sister of Hecuba. She was married to Thymoetes, brother of Priam. On the same day that Hecuba bore Paris to Priam, Cilla bore Munippus to Thymoetes. On hearing of the oracle that stated that he must destroy she who had given birth and her child, Priam killed Cilla and her son.[2][3]
