Merzifon (Armenian: Մարզուան, romanized: Marzvan; Middle Persian: Merzban; Ancient Greek: Μερσυφὼν, romanized: Mersyphòn or Μερζιφούντα, Merzifounta) is a town in Amasya Province in the central Black Sea region of Turkey. It is the seat of Merzifon District.[2] Its population is 61,376 (2021).[1] The mayor is Alp Kargı (CHP).

Modern Merzifon is a typical large but quiet Anatolian town with schools, hospitals, courts and other important infrastructure but few cultural amenities. There is a large airbase nearby.

Merzifon is twinned with the city of Pleasant Hill, California.
