Kyrakali (Greek: Κυρακαλή) is a village and a community of the Grevena municipality. Before the 2011 local government reform it was a part of the municipality of Grevena, of which it was a municipal district.[2] The 2021 census recorded 109 residents in the village.[1] The community of Kyrakali covers an area of 9.277 km2.[3]

Kyrakali was populated by Greek speaking Muslim Vallahades.[4][5] The 1920 Greek census recorded 215 people in the village, and 215 inhabitants (38 families) were Muslim in 1923.[6] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Kyrakali were from Asia Minor (20) and Pontus (55) in 1926.[6] The 1928 Greek census recorded 249 village inhabitants.[6] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 76 (264 people).[6]
