Grevena (, Grevená ; ) is a town and municipality in Western Macedonia, northern Greece, and the capital of the Grevena regional unit. Grevena lies about from Athens and about from Thessaloniki. According to the 2021 census, the town's population is 12,515, and that of the municipality 25,905.
Grevena has immediate access to the A2 motorway (Egnatia Odos) since the early 2000s. The motorway connects Igoumenitsa (an important port connecting the west coast of Greece with Italy) to Thessaloniki and Alexandroupoli (at the border with Turkey). A direct series of motorway links to Athens will become available sometime in 2026 through the completion of the northern section of the E65 Central Motorway.
