The Voidomatis is a river in the Ioannina regional unit in northwestern Greece, and is a tributary of the Aoös river (Vjosa).

The main current sources are located in the village of Vikos. Along its path it converges with other streams originating from the banks of Tymfi or the Vikos Gorge. It ends close to Konitsa. The river has a total length of 15 kilometres. The name Voidomatis, derives from the fact that oxen have clear blue eyes, like the waters of this river.

The Voidomatis has been characterized as one of the cleanest rivers in Europe as it does not face any environmental issues. It crosses one of the most beautiful natural locations in Greece and has been part of the Vikos–Aoös National Park since 1973. The river is spanned by a number of stone bridges, the most famous being the Kledonas Bridge. The river is known for water sports such as rafting and kayaking.
