Polypotamo (Greek: Πολυπόταμο, before 1927: Νερέτη – Nereti[2]) is a village in Florina Regional Unit, Macedonia, Greece.

Polypotamo had 573 inhabitants in 1981.[3] In fieldwork done by Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Polypotamo was populated by Slavophones.[3] The Macedonian language was used by people of all ages, both in public and private settings, and as the main language for interpersonal relationships.[3] Some elderly villagers had little knowledge of Greek.[3]
