Dion (also known under the name of Adun and Capitolias ) is the name of an ancient city in Palestine. The exact location is disputed, but it is thought it was north of Irbid at the site of the present Beit Ras.

The city appears in ancient reports as one of the cities of the Decapolis, a loose alliance of Greek and Roman cities.
