Cleinias was a tyrant of the ancient Greek city-state of Sicyon in the 3rd century BC. He came into power when the citizens deposed Euthydemus and Timocleidas. The historian Plutarch believed that Timocleidas aided Cleinias as tyrant. As tyrant, Cleinias oversaw the construction of a gymnasium for Sicyon. He was murdered in 264 BC by Abantidas, and was the father of Aratus, who was born in 271 BC.
