Veloni (Greek: Βελώνη, before 1919: Βελιάνη – Veliani;[1][2] Aromanian: Valone)[3] was a village in Grevena Regional Unit, Macedonia, Greece. Under Greece, for most of its existence, Veloni was part of the community of Kallithea.[2]

Veloni was inhabited by Aromanians (Vlachs), and by the 1960s it was deserted.[4][3] The village was abolished on 5 April 1981 and annexed to the village of Kranea.[2]
