Nea Charavgi (Greek: Νέα Χαραυγή) is a village in the municipality of Kozani, northern Greece, located 5 km east of the center near the municipal park Kouri. The population of Nea Charavgi was 1,185 at the 2021 census.[1] Together with the unpopulated old village Charavgi it forms the community Charavgi.

The public corporation of electricity moved the village to its present location in the late 1980s and mid-1990s, when the original site was found to contain deposits of lignite.

Charavgi was named Tzoumas until 1928, and Amygdala between 1928 and 1961.[2]
