Kallirachi (Greek: Καλλιράχη) is a village on the island of Thasos in northern Greece. As of 2011 the village has a population of 1018. The village is located at an average height of 145 m.a.s.l., on the western slope of Mount Metamorphosis. In tradition, on a hill above the village is located the grave of Sabellius (fl. ca. 215), a priest and theologian banished to the island of Thasos as a heretic. To the west of the village (2.5 km) is the location of a village under the same name (Skala Kallirachi), where the original sixteenth-century village was located, before being abandoned and its residents seeking refuge inland, due to pirate raids.
