Cybele Andrianou (Greek: Κυβέλη Ανδριανού; 13 July 1888 – 26 May 1978), also known by her stage name Cybele (Greek: Κυβέλη), was a Greek actress.[1][2]

She was born on 13 July 1888 to an unmarried couple in Smyrna and spent the first two years of her life in an Athens orphanage.[citation needed] At the age of two-and-a-half, she was adopted by Anastasis and Maria Andrianou. The family of a famous Athenian lawyer of the time, who had recently lost their only child, helped Cybele's adoptive parents financially. In 1901, at the age of 13, she received her first award for her stage performance.

There is a statue honouring her in Pagrati Grove, Athens.
