Triandria ( Greek Τριανδρία [ trianˈðria ] ( f. Sg. )) Is a district of the Greek municipality of Thessaloniki in the Central Macedonia region northeast of the city center near the historic old town (Ano Polis and Eptapyrgos). From 1934 to 2010 Triandria was an independent municipality, from 1982 as a municipality (dimos).

In the area of Triandra, displaced Greeks from Asia Minor (today's Turkey) first settled in 1915. In 1917, many residents of Thessaloniki who had to leave the city after the great fire of August 5, 1917, found new (temporary) accommodation in the Triandria area. In 1919, again displaced persons and immigrants from the areas of the former Soviet Union came to Triandria and settled there. In 1922 Triandria grew again through the settlement of Greek refugees from Asia Minor, who lost their home in Asia Minor after the Greek defeat in the Greco-Turkish War of 1922 as part of the so-called "population exchange". In 1929 Triandria had a population of around 3,000. Due to the provisional character of the settlement in the 1920s and 1930s, Triandria had neither a regular waste disposal nor a sewer system or a fixed transport connection by road or local public transport.

Triandria had 10,637 inhabitants in 1981, 11,822 in 1991 and 9,986 in 2001 (all data based on censuses).
