Kineta () is a beach town in West Attica, Greece. Since 2017 it is a separate community of the municipality Megara.

==Name== The name "Kineta" comes from the Albanian word "këneta", which means "small lagoon" or "marsh". In 1700, the town was mentioned in a Venetian map as Valle Chineta. The lagoon does not exist anymore but Kineta still has (2010) more than its share of gnats.
