Krinides (Greek: Κρηνίδες, before 1926: Ράχτσα - Rachtsa[2]) is a town in the Kavala regional unit in eastern Macedonia, Greece.

The ruins of the ancient city Philippi are close to the town.

The Greek National Road 12 between Drama and Kavala passes west of Krinides.

Krinides was named after the ancient town Crenides.

Formerly a possession of the island of Thasos, Crenides was captured by King Philip II of Macedon in 356 BC, who expanded and fortified the city and renamed it Philippi after himself.
