Milo ÖN (Swedish: Övre Norrlands militärområde, Upper Norrland Military Area) was a Swedish military area, a command of the Swedish Armed Forces that had operational control over Upper Norrland, for most time of its existence corresponding to the area covered by the counties of Västerbotten and Norrbotten. The headquarters of Milo ÖN were located in Boden.

Milo ÖN was created in 1966 along with five other military areas as part of a reorganisation of the administrative divisions of the Swedish Armed Forces. It can be seen as the successor of VI. militärområdet (VI. Military Area) created in 1942, but that did not have the same tasks as Milo ÖN. The military area consisted of the land covered by the above-mentioned counties.
