Axon[1][2][3][4] (-onis, m.[5][2]; -onos, m.[1]) sive axonum[4] (n.[4]) (Graeceὁ ἄξων, áxon quod Latine axis sonat) est pars cellularum nervalium, inter perikaryon (soma) et synapses interposita. Axon est, ut dentrita, protrusio cytoplasmatis cellulae nervalis, quae signa transmittit. Longitudines eius inter cellulas corporis nervales diversi sunt: Corticis cerebralis interneuronis axona brevia sunt, ac neuronis tractus pyramidalis longissima.
