Lampi (Piraese: Λάμπη) is the southernmost region of Piraea, bordering the Etrurian Tarpeia to the east, Souda Riviera to the south and west and Foinikas to the north. Its capital is the city of Arkadi.

Originally inhabited by the ancient Piraeans, the territory of Lampi has been traditionally at the croassroads of Novalian people, Vespasians and Piraeans. The region is covered in most of its extension by the Tarantines, a mountain range framed in the larger portion of the Transaventine region of Piraea; although its geography compromised the development of human settlements, farming and aliments production led the formation of urban centres. The ethnic composition of the region, with a larger diversity than the rest of Piraea, soon became a crucial factor in the development of history of Lampi, increasing tensions with the varied powers that ruled the region. Lampi was, together with Tarpeia and Foinikas, one of the most affected regions of Piraea during the Piraean Genocide and, later during the Second Piraean Republic, the mass detainment of people, something that marked the region's political and social panorama.
