Stageira (Greek: Στάγειρα, also: Στάγιρα - Stagira) is a Greek village lying on a picturesque plateau on the Chalcidice peninsula, and standing at the foot of the Argirolofos hill. The village stands approximately 18 kilometers southwest of the ruins of ancient Stageira, the birthplace of Aristotle.

A modern statue of Aristotle and small theme park is located next to the modern town. It is part of the municipal unit Stagira-Akanthos within the municipality Aristotelis.[2]
