A katepanikion (Greek: κατεπανίκιον) was a Byzantine term for an area under the control of a katepano. It was used to describe two different types of administrative divisions:
From ca. 971 until the late 11th century, it referred to large circumscriptions comprising several themes and commanded by a doux ("duke") or katepano ("catepan"). In English, the divisions are usually termed "duchy" (in Greek doukaton) or "catepanate" (katepanikion).
