Polyzalus ( , Polyzalos), also Polyzelus (Πολύζηλος, Polyzēlos) was a member of the Deinomenid family of Greek Sicily in the early 5th century BC, the brother of Gelon, Hiero and Thrasybulus. On Gelon's death in 478 BC he received Gelon's military command and his widow Damarete, daughter of Theron, tyrant of Acragas, and he probably ruled Gela as tyrant after Hiero moved to Syracuse. He soon fell out with Hiero, took refuge with Theron, and was restored to favor when the two rulers made peace, after which he disappears from the record.
