Blain Michael Griffon, known as Moon Griffon (pronounced gre-FONN, born May 16, 1961), is an American conservative radio talk show host who broadcasts statewide through station KPEL 96.5 FM in Lafayette in southwestern Louisiana. He was formerly based at KMLB 540 AM in Monroe in Ouachita Parish in the northeastern part of the state.

Griffon is sometimes likened to the national radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh though his program reflects his distinct Louisiana accent and his own brand of politics. The Moon Griffon Show debuted on August 23, 1993, five years after the beginning of The Rush Limbaugh Show.

Griffon was born and reared in Plaquemine, the seat of government of Iberville Parish south of Baton Rouge. His paternal grandfather, Charles A. Griffon, Jr., was a sheriff of Iberville Parish for sixteen years until he was unseated in 1964 by then 31-year-old Jessel Ourso. His maternal grandfather, Matherine J. "Matt" Berthelot (1904–1985), originally from Morganza in Pointe Coupee Parish, owned and operated a Shell Oil service station in Plaquemine. Griffon's father, Charles Thomas "Tommy" Griffon (born November 1, 1935) of Plaquemine, served an unexpired term as an Iberville Parish police juror. Griffon's mother, the former Dorothy Ann "Dot" Berthelot (born January 9, 1936), is one of four children of Matt Berthelot and the former Nethla Morales. Griffon has two brothers, Steven Thomas Griffon (born 1957) and Kurt Joseph Griffon (born 1962), and two sisters, Karen Faye Griffon Leach (born 1958) and Suzanne Marie Griffon Lestage (born 1964). His brother-in-law, attorney Brian Steele Lestage (born December 1961), a Republican,has been since July 2008 the clerk of court in DeRidder in Beauregard Parish.
