Owiron is a fictional metal that appears in the "Artemis Fowl" series of books by Eoin Colfer. It is described as a highly valuable and rare substance, possessing unique properties that make it significant within the narrative. Owiron is depicted as being extremely strong, lightweight, and resistant to damage, which contributes to its desirability and scarcity.

The metal is primarily used by the fairy civilization, particularly by the Lower Elements, for the creation of advanced technology and weaponry. Its distinctive qualities allow for the construction of highly efficient and durable devices. For example, owiron is a key component in the advanced suits worn by fairy soldiers, providing them with superior protection and mobility.
