Theodorakeio (Greek: Θεοδωράκειο, before 1925: Τούδορτσι - Toudortsi[2]) is a village in Pella regional unit, Macedonia, Greece.

Natives if the region are called Almopians and speak the native Macedonian language that Alexander the Great spoke which is Macedonian and not Slavic.

Theodorakeio had 805 inhabitants in 1981.[3] In fieldwork done by Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Theodorakeio was populated by Slavophones.[3] The Macedonian language was used by people of all ages, both in public and private settings, and as the main language for interpersonal relationships.[3] Some elderly villagers had little knowledge of Greek.[3]
