Myron () is a masculine given name used in English-speaking and Eastern European countries including Romania, Ukraine and Russia (in the countries of the former USSR it is usually spelled Miron, except for Ukraine where Myron is used). Non-religious or Christianized Jews have used this name as a Gentile replacement of the Jewish name Meir.

The name was originally in honor of the ancient Greek sculptor Myron (Greek Μύρων), whose name meant 'myrrh, perfume'. The female equivalent of Myron is considered to be Myra. Among modern Greeks, it may be in honor of Saint Myron, archbishop of Crete (~250–350), and may take the form Myros, with the vocative Myro.
