Macynia was an ancient coastal town in Aetolia, Greece, at the eastern foot of Mount Taphiassus and tentatively identified with the site of modern Makyneia. The geographer Strabo said it was settled after the return of the Heraclidae to the Peloponnese, and the poet Archytas of Amphissa praised it as grape-clad and perfume-breathing for its vineyards, while Pliny the Elder and the poet Alcaeus of Messene also mentioned it; ancient sources differ over whether to place it in Aetolia or among the Ozolian Locrians.
