Iliochori (, before 1927: Δοβρίνοβον, Dovrinovon; ) is a village located in the municipal unit of Tymfi, regional unit of Ioannina, Greece. It is located in the northern part of the Zagori region.
According to a local legend, the village was founded as Rasciana, on the river of the same name. However, that site was abandoned because of a lack of drinking water, and the inhabitants scattered to found Iliochori and the nearby town of Laista. Iliochori was traditionally an agricultural village, with husbandry and cultivation of barley and vetch being among its primary areas of economic activity. Viticulture was also prominent and the village produced a wine. Caravans leaving from Iliochori carried products from the region to the Balkans for trade. The town suffered severe damage in both World War II and the Greek Civil War and lost a large portion of its population during the 1940s as a result.
