Theon Greyjoy is a fictional character in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones. Theon is the son and heir of Balon Greyjoy, taken as a ward by Lord Eddard Stark following Balon's failed rebellion.

Introduced in 1996's A Game of Thrones, Theon is the son of Balon Greyjoy from the fictional kingdom of Westeros. He subsequently appeared in Martin's A Clash of Kings (1998) and A Dance with Dragons (2011). He is one of the major third person points-of-view through which Martin narrates both books.

Theon is portrayed by Alfie Allen in the HBO television adaptation.

Theon Greyjoy is not a point of view character in the first novel, but becomes one beginning with the second novel A Clash of Kings.

Theon Greyjoy is the only living son, and heir apparent of Balon Greyjoy. He is the third-person narrator for thirteen chapters throughout A Clash of Kings and A Dance with Dragons. He is initially arrogant, cocky, and proud, but becomes more fragile after being tortured by Ramsay Snow. Ten years before the events of the series, he was taken hostage by Eddard Stark to be executed if Balon displeased the king, Robert Baratheon. Theon was raised at Winterfell with the Stark children and became a close friend to Robb Stark in particular.
