In the Bible, Elon (or Ahialon in Douay–Rheims and some other translations) (Hebrew: אֵילֹן, Modern Elon, Tiberian ʼÊlōn; "oak"; Ancient Greek: Αἰλώμ; Latin: Ahialon) was a Judge of Israel.
He followed Ibzan and was succeeded by Abdon. It is said that he was from the Tribe of Zebulun, led Israel for ten years, and was buried in Ajalon in Zebulon (Judges 12:11).
