Evrytania (Greek: Ευρυτανία, alternative romanization Evritania, rarely/Latin: Eurytania) is one of the prefectures of Greece. It is within the periphery of Central Greece. Its capital is Karpenisi (approx. 8,200 inhabitants). The prefecture was created in 1947 out of the Aitolia-Acarnania prefecture. The prefecture is almost entirely covered with mountains including the Tymfistos and the Panaitoliko in the south and rivers including the Acheloos in the west, Agrafioti in the east and Megdova in the east flowing down to the Ionian Sea, and has a skiing resort. It is one of the leastle populated prefectures in Greece. It is one of the few prefectures that uses only one area code.
It is famous as the place of origin of Pavlos Bakoyannis, husband of Dora Bakoyanni.
The prefecture borders Aetolia-Acarnania to the west, southwest and south (west over the Acheloos river), Karditsa to the north, and Phthiotis to the east.
Evyrtania also features a famous skiing resort located near Karpenisi on the Tymfristos mountain.
