Mavrochori (), meaning "black village"; before 1928: Μαύροβον – Mavrovon) is a village on the shores of Lake Orestiada in Kastoria regional unit of Macedonia, Greece.
Today Mavrochori is a tourist destination for a quiet vacation near the lake of Kastoria. In addition to the trade fair, festive events take place on the 13th - 15 August of the Assumption of Mary, where the Monastery of Panagia Mavriotissa celebrates (it was built by General George Palaiologos in commemoration of the victory against the Normans in 1083). The Mavrochori Nautical Club also operates in the village.
