The legion, in biological taxonomy, is a non-obligatory taxonomic rank within the Linnaean hierarchy which is subordinate to the class but superordinate to the cohort. It consists of a group of related orders and has been employed in some classifications of birds and mammals.
Legions may be grouped into superlegions or subdivided into sublegions, and these again into infralegions.
