Epirus () is a geographical and historical region in southeastern Europe, now shared between Greece and Albania. Classical Epirus roughly lay between the Pindus Mountains in the east and the Ionian Sea in the west, and between the Acroceraunian Mountains in the north and the Ambracian Gulf in the south. It is currently divided between the region of Epirus in northwestern Greece and the counties of Gjirokastër and Vlorë in southern Albania. The largest city and seat of the Greek administrative region of Epirus is Ioannina.
Epirus is a geographical and historical region in southeastern Europe that spans parts of northwestern Greece and southern Albania, bounded by mountains to the east and the Ionian Sea to the west. Today it is administratively divided between the Greek region of Epirus (centered on the city of Ioannina) and two counties in southern Albania, making it a territory shared across two modern countries.

O Epiro (em grego: Ήπειρος, em albanês Çamëria) é uma das 13 regiões modernas da Grécia, localizada no sudoeste da península balcânica. A sua capital é Janina. Historicamente, cobre parte da Grécia e da Albânia. Limita-se com a Cadeia do Pindo a leste; a grande ilha de Corfu e o mar Jônico a oeste; o golfo ambraciano ao sul; e a Ilíria ao norte. Há numerosos planaltos, planícies férteis, vales estreitos e lagoas. O clima é muito úmido, com chuvas abundantes e invernos frios; os rios mais importantes são o Aracto, o Tiâmis e o Aqueronte. Na parte central, próximo à Cadeia do Pindo, fica o planalto de Dodona. As cidades mais importantes eram Dodona, Ambrácia, Cassope, Éfira, Nicópolis e Córcira, esta na ilha de Corfu. No Epiro ficavam dois dos mais famosos oráculos gregos: o de Zeus, em Dodona, e o dos mortos (Necromanteu), em Éfira.
