Myron is a crater on Mercury. It has a diameter of 31 kilometers.[1] Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1979. Myron is named for the ancient Greek sculptor Myron, who lived from 480 to 440 BCE.[2]

Myron is within the vast Borealis Planitia. The closest named feature is the crater Monteverdi to the south.
