Darrhon or Darron (Greek:Δάῤῥων) was an Ancient Macedonian minor god of healing, mentioned by Hesychius as Macedonian Daemon and attested hapax in one inscription of Pella c. 200-150 BC.

It has been argued that while Darrhon (Greek:Δάῤῥων) was initially a minor deity, he was later identified and worshiped as Asclepius
