The Kaons were an ancient Albanian people who lived in the historical region of Epirus, which today is part of northwestern Greece and southern Albania.
Together with the Molosand Thesprots, they formed the main tribes of the southern Albanian group. In historical times, the Epirote kingdom of the Molossians lay on their southern border, the kingdom of the Thesprotes to their southwest, and the Illyrians to their north.
By the 5th century BC, they had conquered and combined on a large scale with the neighboring Thesprotes and Molossians. The Kaons were part of the Epirote League until 170 BC when their territory was annexed by the Roman Republic.
