Melon (Korean: 멜론; RR: Mellon) is a South Korean online music store and music streaming service introduced in November 2004, and developed by SK Telecom. LOEN Entertainment (now Kakao M) became the company-in-charge of the service in 2009.

Melon is South Korea's largest music subscription service, with over 28 million users. Users can stream and download music and music videos and create custom ringtones. Melon is currently available on iOS and Android.
