thumb|Coin of Timoleon (344–337 BC), with Zeus [[Eleutherios ('the liberator') and Pegasus]] Timoleon (Greek: Τιμολέων), son of Timodemus, of Corinth (–337 BC) was a Greek statesman and general.
Timoleon is closely associated with the history of Sicily, particularly Syracuse, where he led campaigns against Carthaginian forces and local tyrants in the 4th century BC.
