Ordona is a small town (population 2,524) in the province of Foggia, in the region of Puglia, southern Italy.

Ordona's economy is agricultural. Ordona is situated on the ancient site of Herdonoia or Herdoniac, where Hannibal fought a major battle against the Roman Army. The ruins of Herdonia were discovered in the years after the Second World War, and remain only partially excavated; they are a short drive from the town.
