Meliboea, also spelled Meliboia, was a town and polis of Magnesia in ancient Thessaly, Greece, mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad as one of the places subject to Philoctetes. It stood on the sea coast, described by Livy as lying at the roots of Mount Ossa and by Strabo as situated in the gulf between Mount Ossa and Mount Pelion.
