Hagnon, son of Nikias (Greek: ῞Αγνων ὁ Νικίου) was an Athenian general and statesman. In 437/6 BC, he led the settlers who founded the city of Amphipolis in Thrace; in the Peloponnesian War, he served as an Athenian general on several occasions, and was one of the signers of the Peace of Nicias and the alliance between Athens and Sparta. In 411 BC, during the oligarchic coup, he supported the oligarchy and was one of the ten commissioners (probouloi) appointed to draw up a new constitution. Hagnon's first appearance in the historical records is in 440 BC, when he is mentioned as one of the generals bringing 40 triremes from Athens to reinforce Pericles at the Siege of Samos. In 437/6 BC, he led a group of Greek colonists to found a city at the mouth of the river Strymon.
