Madon was a Canaanite city mentioned in the book of Joshua. In Joshua 11:1, the king of Madon, along with other Canaanite kings, joined forces against Israel in response to Joshua's victories.

Madon is also listed among the cities whose kings were defeated by Joshua (Joshua 12:19). The location is not provided in the Bible.
