Ang Procyon (kilala rin bilang Alpha Canis Minoris) ay ang pinakamaliwanag na bituin sa konstelasyon ng Canis Minor at isa sa pinakamaliwanag na bituin sa kalangitan sa gabi.[13] Ito ay matatagpuan sa layong humigit-kumulang 11.46 taong-liwanag mula sa Daigdig, kaya isa ito sa mga pinakamalapit na maliwanag na bituin.[8]

Ang Procyon ay isang sistemang may dalawang bituin.[6][8] Ang pangunahing bituin, ang Procyon A, ay isang dilaw-puting subhiganteng bituin na mas malaki at mas maliwanag kaysa sa Araw. Ang kasama nito, ang Procyon B, ay isang puting duwende o white dwarf na natuklasan noong ika-19 na siglo.[10][14][15]

Ang Procyon ang ikawalong pinakamaliwanag na bituin sa kalangitan sa gabi.[16] Ito ay bumubuo ng isa sa tatlong vertex ng asterismo ng Winter Triangle, kasama ang Sirius at Betelgeuse.[5] Ang pinakamagandang panahon para panoorin ang Procyon sa gabi ay sa huling bahagi ng taglamig sa Hilagang Hemisperyo.[17]

Ang pangalang Procyon ay nagmula sa sinaunang salitang Griyego na Προκύων (Prokyon), na nangangahulugang "bago ang aso". Nakuha nito ang pangalang ito dahil sumisikat ito bago ang Sirius, ang maliwanag na "Bituin ng Aso" sa Canis Major, habang naglalakbay sila sa kalangitan sa gabi.[13][18]
