Madouri (Greek: Μαδουρή) is a small uninhabited island in the Ionian Sea, near Lefkada, Greece.

This privately owned island is in the possession of the Valaoritis family. It was the place where Aristotelis Valaoritis, a 19th-century poet, grew up. The current owner is the distinguished writer Nanos Valaoritis. The villa was the principal location in Billy Wilder's 1978 film, Fedora.
