Kaplon, also Kaplony or Kaplyon, was the name of a gens in the Kingdom of Hungary. The founder and ancestor of the genus was Kaplon, the second son of Kond, who was one of the seven chieftains of the Magyars according to Anonymus, author of the Gesta Hungarorum. The clan's original tribal area was the Nyírség, northeastern part of the Great Hungarian Plain.
