Kipoureio or Kipourio (Greek: Κηπουρείο or Κηπουριό) is a village and a community of the Grevena municipality. Before the 2011 local government reform it was a part of the municipality of Gorgiani, of which it was a municipal district and the seat. The 2021 census recorded 125 residents in the village. The community of Kipoureio covers an area of 40.285 km2.
In the early nineteenth century, traveller William Martin Leake wrote Kipoureio was a Vlach village. According to the statistics of Vasil Kanchov ("Macedonia, Ethnography and Statistics"), 600 Greek Christians lived in the village in 1900. Historian Nicholas Hammond described Kipoureio as a Vlach village during his travels in the area during the interwar period. Historian Asterios Koukoudis states Kipoureio possibly experienced a process of assimilation, similar to the village of Mikrolivado.
