Icon is a studio album recorded and released by Asia band members John Wetton and Geoffrey Downes in 2005. It is the first in the Icon series (though they previously released the album Wetton Downes in 2002, a collection of demos from the 1980s).

Icon was followed by the albums Icon II: Rubicon in 2006 and Icon 3 in 2009. All three were reissued in 2018 by Epicon Records, a vanity label for Icon albums set up by Wetton's estate and Downes.
