Vonones, also spelled Vovones (Greek: ΟΝΩΝΟΥ Onōnou) was an Iranian king, who ruled Sakastan from 75 BCE to 57 BCE.

Vonones was a rival of the first Indo-Scythian monarch Maues (r. 98/85–60/57 BC), who also claimed the title of King of Kings. Both of them fought for power over the regions of Arachosia, the Kabul Valley, Ghadhara and Taxila.
