Onchestus or Onchestos (Ancient Greek: Ὀγχηστός), was a river of ancient Thessaly, flowing near Scotussa, through the battlefield of Cynoscephalae into Lake Boebeis. It is perhaps the same river as the Onochonus or Onochonos (Ὀνόχωνος), whose waters were exhausted by the army of Xerxes I during the Persian invasion of Greece. It is true that Herodotus describes this river as flowing into the Peneius; but in this he was probably mistaken, as its course must have been into Lake Boebeis.

| - Onquestos (en grec antic Ὀγχηστός) era un riu de Tessàlia que naixia prop de la ciutat d'Escotussa, passava pel lloc anomenat Cinoscèfales, on hi van haver dues batalles importants, i arribava al llac Bebeis (Boebeis). És probablement el mateix riu Onoconos (Onochonus) que l'exèrcit de Xerxes I de Pèrsia quan va envair Grècia, va assecar bevent de la seva aigua així que hi va arribar, segons diuen Heròdot i Plini el Vell.
