Samarina is a village and community of Grevena prefecture, Macedonia, Greece. It is built 52 km from Grevena, at an altitude of 1,600m on the side of Mount Smolikas of the Pindus range.

The village had a population of 701 inhabitants according to the 2001 census. It is well-known from a dimotiko song.

Traditionally, Samarina was a farming (livestock) village that was populated only during the non-Winter months. Today, it also operates as a winter resort with roads leading to ski sites.
