Ereikoussa or Erikoussa (Greek: Ερείκουσα) is a Greek island in the Ionian Islands. It is a community, part of the Corfu Prefecture. It is located off the northwestern coast of the island of Corfu, and is almost equidistant from Corfu to the southeast, Mathraki to the southwest, and Othonoi to the west. There is only one town on the island, also named Ereikoússa. Its population was 698 at the 2001 census and its land area is 4.449 km². The island is rich in green forests, filled with cypress, and olive trees. It has two beaches, Porto (Πόρτο) and Braghini (Μπραγκίνι), which are two Italian originated names that were named during the non-Greek rule, one meaning 'port' and the other originating from Braghini.
