En tron (klassisk grekiska θρόνος (thronos) ’säte’) är den officiella sittplatsen för en regent eller religiös ledare under vissa ceremonier. Ibland refererar ordet abstrakt till kungamakten. Troner har använts åtminstone sedan antiken, där förutom kungar även gudar satt på troner. I bibeln refererar Gud till sin tron. Där nämns även "Davids tron". Påven sitter i i San Giovanni in Laterano. I Sverige används Drottning Kristinas silvertron.
