Monodendri (Greek: Μονοδένδρι) is a suburb located 10 km south of Patras, Greece.

It is part of the municipal unit of Vrachnaiika. The neighboring communities are Roitika to the north, Vrachneika in the east bounded by an OSE/SPAP railway, and Vrachnaiika to the south. Its length from north to south is nearly 2 km, and its furthest width is no more than 300 m and the size is small. Its main street runs by the seashore, and then down to the hills. The shore is filled with beaches with panoramas of western Achaia and Aetoloacarnania from the Gulf of Patras. The community has a train station. Its population is around 1,500. Much of the housing was built between the 1970s and the 1990s, because it used to be a village. The remaining farmlands lie to the south and forests are lined with the railway. Most of the community is residential. It is accessed by the old GR-9 in both sides. It is Vrachneika's closest beach.

Monodendri has a school, a church, a post office and a square (plateia). The village also has a spring in the area. It also has restaurants and some forests in the east within the railway.
