卡戎(希臘語:Χάρων,/ˈkɛərɒn, -ən/;,又譯作卡隆)是希腊神话和羅馬神話中的神話人物,他是冥王哈得斯的船夫,負責划船將剛離人世的亡魂渡過冥河斯堤克斯。 根據神話,斯堤克斯河分隔了人世和冥界。古希臘人會在死者的嘴巴上面或裡面放一枚「卡戎的銀幣」(通常是奧波勒斯小銀幣),作為亡魂給付卡戎的「渡河錢」。奧古斯都時代的古羅馬詩人維吉爾在他的著作《艾尼亞斯紀》中說,沒有帶上「卡戎的銀幣」、或者死後沒有被埋葬的亡魂,要在斯堤克斯河岸邊徘徊一百年,才得渡河。在「卡塔巴斯」式神話素(mytheme)中,諸如艾尼亞斯、戴歐尼修斯、赫拉克勒斯、赫密士、奧德修斯、奧菲斯、皮瑞蘇斯、普賽克、忒修斯和薛西弗斯等英雄或神祇都曾經登上卡戎之船渡河進入冥界,並全身而退。
