Et '''serapion''' (eller '''serapium''', '''serapeon''') er i den gresk-romerske oldtidsverden en helligdom dedikert til fremfor alt guddommen [[Serapis]], som var en synkretistisk  [[Det ptolemeiske kongedømme|gresk-egyptisk]] guddom, som hadde opptatt i seg sterke trekk fra [[Hades]], og guddommene [[Apis (gud)|Apis]] og [[Osiris]].

Innen en mer strikt [[egyptologi]]s forstand er det serapeion fremfor akt en underjordis [[nekropol]] der man utfører kult knyttet til Apis.

I middelhavsområdet var det en rekke slike tempeler, og man finner ruiner etter dem fremfor alt i Egypt, Italia og Tyrkia.
