Picodon () is a goats-milk cheese made in the region around the Rhône in southern France. The name means "spicy" in Occitan.
The cheese itself comes in a number of varieties, each small, flat and circular in shape varying from speckled white to golden in colour. Between in diameter and between in height, they range from around 40 to 100 grams. The pâte of the cheese is spicy and unusually dry, whilst retaining a smooth, fine texture.
