Kondomari or Kontomari (Greek: Κοντομαρί) is a Greek village, part of the municipality of Platanias in Crete. It is located near the northern coast of Crete, 18 kilometers west of Chania and 3 kilometers southeast of Maleme.

It is known for being the site of the Kondomari Massacre, when on 2 June 1941 at least 23 civilians were executed by invading German paratroopers as a reprisal for the deaths of several German soldiers.
