Kranionas (Greek: Κρανιώνας, before 1926: Δρανοβαίνη – Dranovaini; Bulgarian/Macedonian: Дреновени - Drenoveni) is a village and a community in Kastoria Regional Unit, Macedonia, Greece.

The residents spoke the Dolna Korèshcha variant of the Kostur dialect. The village consisted of two separate parts: Gorna (Upper) Maala (Quarter) and Dolna (Lower) Maala, separated by one kilometer, with the village river running between the quarters.

In 1945, Greek Foreign Minister Ioannis Politis ordered the compilation of demographic data regarding the Prefecture of Kastoria. The village Kranionas had a total of 623 inhabitants, populated by 60 Slavophones.
