Paleá Kokkiniá, Working-class neighbourhood in Piraeus, Greece

Paleá Kokkiniá is a historic working-class neighbourhood in the north of Piraeus, Greece, not a church. It is bordered by Nikaia to the north, Lefka to the south, Agios Ioannis Rentis to the east and Maniatika to the west, with Kaminia and Papastratos also nearby. Its heart is the Agia Sotira square, with a park, a school complex, a gymnasium and a basketball court; Thevon Avenue runs through it.

Paleá Kokkiniá was settled from the mid-19th century by farmers from Arvanite villages of Attica such as Spata, Menidi and Liosia, who found its red soil suited to crops and livestock. After the 1922 Asia Minor Catastrophe, Armenian refugees arrived first, followed by Greeks from Smyrna, who founded the separate New Kokkiniá, today the municipality of Nikaia.

The name comes from the red soil that drew farmers from Attic Arvanite villages such as Spata, Menidi and Liosia in the mid-19th century; they were called arabbatzides for their many carts. The central square, Agia Sotira, takes its name from the small church of the Transfiguration built in 1868, still known locally as "Agia Sotira". The Neráida square was the terminus of the Piraeus–Palaia Kokkinia line and from 1955 a Sunday spot for kebabs at Serkos.

Paleá Kokkiniá lies north of the Piraeus centre, bounded by Nikaia to the north, Lefka to the south, Agios Ioannis Rentis to the east and Maniatika to the west. Its spine is Leoforos Thivon, which cuts through the middle of the district from the Retsina factory. The central square, Agia Sotira, holds the park, the school complex and a basketball court; a second square is Neraida, the old terminus of the Piraeus–Palaia Kokkinia line.

A marble stele at the corner of Thivon and Falirou streets marks where the first three fighters of the Kokkinia Blockade fell; the old 5th KTEL bus terminal at Thivon 50, bought under mayor Andreas Andrianopoulos, was proposed as a National Transport Museum by Panagiotis Fasoulas and Giorgos Kasimatis.
