Artemida (Greek: Αρτέμιδα; before 1948: Κουμουθέκρας - Koumouthekras) is a village near Zacharo in southern Elis in the western part of the Peloponnese peninsula of Greece. The village was completely destroyed in the 2007 Greek forest fires. Twenty-three residents of Artemida lost their lives.

On August 30, 2007, the Government of Cyprus announced that it will reconstruct the village.
