Metoq (Albanian definite form: Metoqi; Greek: Μετόχι Metochi) is a village in Vlorë County, southwestern Albania. It is part of the municipality of Sarandë.[1] It is located to the east of Sarandë, next to the village of Vrion. The village is primarily inhabited by ethnic Greeks.[2]

The ruins of two ancient Greek temples were found in the vicinity of the village.[3] The village stands by the roads that connect Sarandë with the Albanian Riviera, as well as with the national road to Gjirokastër.
