Vergina is a small town in northern Greece, located in the regional unit of Imathia, Central Macedonia.

The town became internationally famous in 1977, when the Greek archaeologist Manolis Andronikos unearthed the burial site of the kings of Macedon, including the tomb of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. The finds established the site as the ancient Aigai.
