Das Devon (Aussprache: [deˈvoːn]) ist in der Erdgeschichte das vierte chronostratigraphische System bzw. die vierte geochronologische Periode innerhalb des Paläozoikums. Es begann vor etwa 419.2 Millionen Jahren und endete vor etwa 358.9 Millionen Jahren (siehe Geologische Zeitskala). Das Devon folgt auf das Silur und ging dem Karbon voraus.
