Trabzon (Grieks: Τραπεζούντα, Trapezounta), historisch bekend als Trebizonde, is een stad aan de noordoostkust van Turkije. Het is tevens het hoofdstaddistrict van de gelijknamige provincie. De stad telt 230.400 inwoners (2009) en ligt in een vruchtbare kuststreek aan de Zwarte Zee, waar een gematigd zeeklimaat heerst. Hoge bergen scheiden de stad van het binnenland van Anatolië. Trabzon was een prominente plaats aan de Zijderoute en werd in de eerste helft van de 19e eeuw van groot belang voor de internationale handel tussen Europa en Azië. De opening van het Suezkanaal in 1869 bracht een eind aan de intensieve internationale handel in de stad. Toch is het een belangrijke haven aan de Zwarte Zee gebleven transport richting de Kaukasus en Iran. Trabzon is daarnaast ook cultureel, historisch en sportief gezien de belangrijkste stad aan de zuidkust van de Zwarte Zee en geldt derhalve als de onofficiële hoofdstad van de Pontus (de Turkse Zwarte Zeestreek Karadeniz). De bijnaam van de stad is Klein Istanboel of Klein Constantinopel, vanwege haar keizerlijke geschiedenis (Grieks keizerrijk Trebizonde). Sinds de lokale verkiezingen van 2014 is de stad uitgebreid tot een 'metropoolregio' met ruim 800.000 inwoners.
