Zone (pronunciation: TSO-neh or ZO-neh) is a comune in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy.

Its coat of arms is picturesque and has three peaks, each of them as a rock sledge over it. It is covered with green pine trees on the bottom. The motto reads Communitas Alpino Zonensis, the Alpine Community of Zone.

The city is known for the nearby "Pyramids of Zone", formations of large rock pillars created by glacial erosion. Visitors to the pyramids can also see nearby Lago d'Iseo.
