Matzoon (, matsun, or ) or matsoni (, ''mats'oni'') is a fermented milk product of Armenian origin found in Armenia and Georgia. The Caspian Sea yogurt commercialized in Japan is said to be the same type of yogurt as matzoon, but a comparison of microbiota and viscosity found that the two are entirely different. Georgian matsoni has been a protected geographical indication in Georgia since 24 January 2012.

Le madzoun, matzoun ou matsoun (arménien : մածուն) est un produit laitier fermenté originaire d'Arménie et similaire au yaourt. Ce produit est également traditionnellement géorgien sous le nom de matsoni (géorgien : მაწონი). Il est par ailleurs connu dans d'autres cuisines de la région (azéri : qatıq ; kurde : mast ; araméen : ܩܛܺܝܪܳܐ, qaṭiro). Il est fabriqué à partir de lait de vache, bufflonne, brebis, ou chèvre.
