Neon the Unknown is a fictional superhero from the Golden Age of Comic Books created by Jerry Iger for Quality Comics. Neon first appeared in a story penciled and inked by Alex Blum in Hit Comics #1 and was featured on the cover of issue two drawn by Lou Fine. His stories ran in issues 1–17.

Like many characters owned by that company, he was later bought by DC Comics after Quality ceased operations.
