Loutraki-Perachora (Greek: Λουτράκι-Περαχώρα) is a former municipality in Corinthia, Peloponnese, Greece. Since the 2011 local governmental reform it is part of the municipality Loutraki-Perachora-Agioi Theodoroi, of which it is a municipal unit.[2] The municipal unit has an area of 196.870 km2 (76.012 sq mi).[3]

The region of Loutraki-Perachora is a tourist destination for summer and weekend visitors from the Athens metropolitan area, due to its proximity (about 80 km; 50 mi) and the clean and sandy beaches surrounding the town of Loutraki and other seaside settlements.

The area is also famous for the Heraion of Perachora (sanctuary of the goddess Hera), an archaeological site of significance located at the end of the Perachora peninsula.
