L'osteone, o sistema Haversiano, è l'unità funzionale del tessuto osseo compatto. Ha una forma cilindrica con un diametro compreso tra 0,25 mm e 0,35 millimetri, e una lunghezza compresa tra alcuni millimetri e un cm. Gli osteoni sono presenti nella struttura ossea di molti mammiferi, alcuni uccelli, rettili e qualche anfibio.
