Pedieis ( Ancient Greek: Πεδιεῖς or Πεδιέας) was one of the Phocian towns destroyed by Xerxes I during the Greco-Persian Wars (in 480 BCE). [1] From the order in which it stands in the enumeration of Herodotus, it appears to have stood near the Cephissus, in some part of the plain between Tithorea and Elateia. [1] It is enumerated among the towns in Phocis whose territory was sacked n 395 BCE by the Boeotians. [2]

The site of Pedieis is tentatively associated with a location called Palaia Phiva. [3] [4]
