Kapesovo (Greek: Καπέσοβο) is a village in the Zagori region (Epirus region), it is 43 km north of Ioannina. The name Kapesovo is Slavic and means garden.

The village is located a short distance from the Vikos gorge, where from some parts of the village the view towards it is panoramic. Also noteworthy is the stone-built path that connects Kapesovo with the neighboring Vradetto (Vradetou staircase).

In the 17th and 18th centuries, many Kapesovites distinguished themselves as hagiographers (bogades in the local dialect) and woodcarvers and many of the churches of Zagori and Epirus in general were decorated with the works of local craftsmen. The benefactors Konstantinos and Pavlos Paschalis also come from the village, who founded the Paschalio school at their own expense (founded in 1861), where today one of the three original copies of the Charter of Riga Feraios is housed.
