The Kryoneri Observatory (Greek: Αστεροσκοπείο Κρυονερίου), also known as the Kryoneri Astronomical Station (Αστρονομικός Σταθμός Κρυονερίου), is an astronomical obervatory in Greece operated by the IAASARS research institute of the National Observatory of Athens. It is home of the third largest telescope in Greece, a 1.23 metres (48 in) Cassegrain reflector, which was used for the NELIOTA project of ESA and NOA. The observatory is also housing smaller instruments that are conducting research for IAASARS and are participating in international programmes.
