'''Legion''' is a [[computer software]] system variously classified as a [[distributed operating system]], a [[peer-to-peer]] system, [[metacomputing software]], or [[middleware]]. It is an object-based system designed to provide secure, transparent access to large numbers of machines, both to computational power and data.

The project was funded by the [[National Science Foundation]] and other funding agencies, and was mostly developed at the [[University of Virginia]] by a group led by [[Andrew Grimshaw]]. The Legion people formed the '''Avaki Corporation''' to commercialize the project in 1999, but Avaki eventually abandoned the Legion software base, and finally went bankrupt in 2005, with its [[intellectual property]] acquired by [[Sybase]].

Legion is the successor to Hydra, developed to run on the [[C.mmp]] hardware system developed at [[Carnegie Mellon University]] in the late 1960s.

One of the slogans of the Legion project is "mechanism, not policy!"
