Kipoureio or Kipourio (Greek: Κηπουρείο or Κηπουριό) is a village and a community of the Grevena municipality.

In the early nineteenth century, traveller William Martin Leake wrote Kipoureio was a Vlach village.^[4] According to the statistics of Vasil Kanchov ("Macedonia, Ethnography and Statistics"), 600 Greek Christians lived in the village in 1900.^[5] Historian Nicholas Hammond described Kipoureio as a Vlach village during his travels in the area during the interwar period.^[6] Historian Asterios Koukoudis states Kipoureio possibly experienced a process of assimilation, similar to the village of Mikrolivado.^[4]
