Boon (Ancient Greek: Βοών) was a port on the Black Sea coast of ancient Pontus, 90 stadia east of Cape Jasonium.
According to William Hamilton, the 19th-century geologist, it was "the best winter harbor on that side of Constantinople, surpassing even Sinope due to its great depth".
Its site is located near Perşembe in Asiatic Turkey.
