Charaton (Olympiodorus of Thebes: Χαράτων) was one of the first kings of the Huns.

==Etymology== The name is found in Greek as Χαράτων (Kharatōn). Otto J. Maenchen-Helfen notes that the -ton element might be an artifact of the Greek transcription, and the name may actually have ended in -tom, -ton, -to, -ta, or -t.
