Kleisthenis I Programme (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Πρόγραμμα Κλεισθένης Ι|Prógramma Kleisthénis I) is the common name of Greek law 4555/2018 of July 2018, a major administrative reform in Greece. It brought about the third major reform of the country's administrative divisions following the 1997 Kapodistrias reform and the 2010 Kallikratis Programme.
