Ocolum or Okolon (Ancient Greek: Ὄκωλον) was a Greek town in ancient Thrace.[1] It is mentioned by Stephanus of Byzantium, who quotes Theopompus and says the town belonged to Eretria.[2] This reference that is usually interpreted as showing that Ocolum was an Eretrian colony in Thrace.[1]

Its site is unlocated.[1]
