Keratsini (Greek, Modern: Κερατσίνι, Ancient/Katharevousa -on), older forms Keratsinio and Keratsinion is a suburb in the western part of Piraeus, Greece. Drapetsona Bay lies to the southwest. The city is linked by a road linking to Skaramangas along with GR-8A/E94 and Athinon Avenue and along with Lambrakis Streets and Petrou Ralli Avenue to the northeast and road to Perama to the northwest. There is an interchange which is only accessed by trucks which leads into the Piraeus harbor. It is also located S of Eleusis and GR-9, SW and W of Kifissou Avenue (GR-1/E75, about 14 km WSW of Athens, W of Poseidonos Avenue and Syngrou Avenue and about 4 km NW of downtown Piraeus.

Today, most of the municipality are urbanized or residential. The rocky landscape of Aigaleo with a few bushes lie to the north. The mountaintop is to the northeast and the valley is to the northwest. The industrial lies to the southwest with most of the buildings as the port of Piraeus. The area which was used for mining in the 1960s transformed the area into a park.
