Gratini () is a village of Rhodope regional unit in northern Greece, 13 km north of Komotini. It is part of the municipal unit of Komotini.
==History== The village first appears in the late Byzantine era, as the town of Gratzianous (η Γρατζιανούς), while Ottoman documents mention it as Iğrican and Ağricanhišar. The late medieval village may possibly be identical to the ancient city of Gratianopolis, named after Emperor Gratian (r. 367–383), whose bishop is recorded as taking part in the First Council of Ephesus in 431.
