Kontopouli (Greek: Κοντοπούλι) is a village and a community in the municipal unit of Moudros in the northeastern part of the island of Lemnos, Greece.

The village owes its name to the Byzantine landowner Kontopoulos who donated part of the area to the Great Lavra monastery on Mount Athos, according to the historian Komninos Pyromaglou.

The origin of part of its inhabitants from Agios Ypatios is confirmed by the fact that the local church is dedicated to Saint Hypatius.

In 1856, 370 men between the ages of 18 and 50 paid 11,840 kuruş in order to avoid army conscription, which underlines the importance of the village.

From the late 19th century, the population began to decline as several people moved to nearby Panagia.

The impressive church of Agios Dimitrios was completely reconstructed between 1892 and 1902, using building materials from the ruins of ancient Hephaistia.

During the Axis occupation of Greece during World War II, Kontopouli was ruled by the German army.

During the Greek Civil War, the poet Yiannis Ritsos lived in exile in Kontopouli.

The remains of a medieval underground construction have been found, probably a church, but some suggested it to be the ancient labyrinth of Lemnos which was mentioned by Pliny.

It was mentioned in 1415 in a document of the monastery of Great Lavra on Mount Athos as ai Dimosiai.

In 1858 the German traveler Conze found cultivation in major parts of the plain between Cape Plaka and Kontopouli but no settlement.

There were only isolated huts, which locals called estates and all the lands belonged to residents of Agios Ypatios and Kontopoulos.
