Dinon or Deinon (Greek or ) of Colophon (fl. c. 360 – 340 BC) was a Greek historian and chronicler, the author of a history of Persia, many fragments of which survive. The Suda mistakenly attributes this work to Dio Cassius. He was the father of the historian Cleitarchus.
He wrote a history of Persia titled "The Persian Affairs" of which only a few fragments have survived. He took the history of the near East from where Ctesias left off. While indulging in the taste for the low, his history of Persia was held in considerably more regard than that author's Persica.
