Kastri (Greek: Καστρί or Καστρίον, Kastríon; Albanian: Kastriot) is a town in Thesprotia, Epirus, Greece. The local church is dedicated to Saint George.

Kastri is mainly inhabited by Greek residents, while the presence of an Orthodox Albanian-speaking community has been vivid throughout the past century. During the Axis occupation of Greece, 18 residents of Kastri were executed by German forces and local Cham Albanian collaborators.
