Cimon or Kimon (; – 450BC) was an Athenian strategos (general and admiral) and politician.

He was the son of Miltiades, also an Athenian strategos. Cimon rose to prominence for his bravery fighting in the naval Battle of Salamis (480&nbsp;BC), during the Second Persian invasion of Greece. Cimon was then elected as one of the ten strategoi, to continue the Persian Wars against the Achaemenid Empire. He played a leading role in the formation of the Delian League against Persia in 478&nbsp;BC, becoming its commander in the early Wars of the Delian League, including at the Siege of Eion (476&nbsp;BC).
