Mileon (, before 1926: Μέδοβον – Medovon, between 1926 and 1949: Μηλιώνας – Milionas; , Medovo) is a village in Florina Regional Unit, Western Macedonia, Greece. It is part of the community of Laimos.
The toponym has its basis in the local culture of the village and is derived from med the Slavic word for honey, as the inhabitants had beehives for bees. Some of the architecture of Mileon consists of houses built from bricks, many abandoned, in disrepair and covered in vegetation and others are stone houses. Agriculture and livestock formed the village economy. In the 1990s, the soils in the surrounding hills of Mileon had undergone extensive soil erosion, due to agricultural and grazing over use.
