Audoleon () was king of the ancient kingdom of Paeonia from 315 until his death in 285 or 284 BC. He succeeded his father, Patraus, under unknown circumstances.
Around 310, Audoleon asked and received help from Cassander, King of Macedonia, in defeating an invasion of the Illyrian Autariatae after they had overrun the upper Axius valley. The 20,000 survivors were, along with their wives and children, settled in the border territory of Parorbelia by Cassander.
