Epiros (bahasa Yunani: Ἤπειρος Epeiros, Yunani Barat Laut: Ἄπειρος Apeiros) adalah suatu negara Yunani kuno, terletak di daerah Epirus, di bagian barat Balkan. Epiros berbatasan dengan Liga Aitolia di selatan, Thessalia dan Kekaisaran Makedonia di timur dan Illyria di utara. Selama periode yang singkat (280-275 SM), pemimpin Epeiros, Pirros berhasil menajdikan Epiros sebagai negara terkuat di Yunani, dan pasukannya berperang melawan Romawi di Italia.
