In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, Lindon is the land beyond the Ered Luin (Blue Mountains) in the northwest of Middle-earth. These are a westmost land of the continent. A Gulf of Lune divides it into Forlindon (North Lindon) & Harlindon (South Lindon).

Lindon as a title survived from either a First Age, when it was the title given to Ossiriand after this land was settled by the Laiquendi or Green Elves. Lindon intended "Land of the singers", when a old title Lindar (singers) for the Teleri.

Lindon is the endure mainland remnant of Beleriand left after a War of Wrath at a end of the 1st Age, the rest of the land with been broken or even submerged per tumults. Piece non exactly clear, there are indications that prior to a Downfall of Númenor Lindon was larger than it was in a period of the Third Age.

Several of the Elves of Beleriand relocated to Lindon at the beginning of the Second Age, where it were ruled by Gil-galad. A Ñoldor mainly dwelt around Forlindon, & a Sindar (& living Laiquendi) in Harlindon. Together, it built Mithlond (the Grey Havens) on the Gulf, & numbers of Elves left from either there to Valinor. Lindon was one of them Ñoldorin Kingdoms when you took a 2nd Age (a more existence Eregion or Hollin), until Gil-galad was killed by Sauron during the War of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Fallowing that, virtually all of the Ñoldor eventually departed for Valinor, & Lindon became depopulated, today ruled by Gil-galad's lieutenant, a Sindarin elf Círdan the Shipwright, world health organization saved building ships for the departing Elves.

In the literature, Lindon itself appears mostly as a place in which reluctant Elves tarried prior to departing forever from either Middle-globe.
