In Greek mythology, Metion (pronounced: /ˈmiːʃən/; Greek: Μητίων, genitive Μητίονος) was a son of King Erechtheus of Athens or of Eupalamus, son of King Erechtheus. His sons later drove King Pandion II out of Athens into exile. Among these sons were Eupalamus, Sicyon, and Daedalus, though they are sometime credited with other parentages. These usurping sons were in turn overthrown by the sons of Pandion.

However, some of Metion's sons expelled Pandion from Athens. These sons were exiled by Pandion's sons (Aegeus, Lycus and Nisos) and Pandion was restored. One of Metion's sons was the notable inventor Daedalus, who did not become king of Athens because he killed his nephew Perdix (and was banished to Crete, where he built the Labyrinth). The next (and last) of Erectheus' descendants to rule over Athens was Menestheus, son of Peteus and grandson of Orneus (Metion's brother). Menestheus succeeded Theseus, the son of Aegeus.
