Claridon is an unincorporated community in Claridon Township, Geauga County, Ohio, United States. It is located on U.S. Route 322 southeast of Chardon and to the west of East Claridon.
Claridon was originally to be named "Burlington", but since there was another Burlington in the state, the name was changed in order to avoid repetition.
