The Sanctuary of Pandion was an ancient Greek sanctuary on the Acropolis of Athens. It is known from ancient inscriptions and from the writings of the traveller Pausanias to have been located on the eastern side of the Acropolis, and to have contained a statue of the hero Pandion, to whom it was dedicated. In modern times, it has usually been identified with the remains of a building (Building IV) located in the south-east corner of the Acropolis of Athens, whose foundations were found during excavations in the late nineteenth century.
