Perikleia (Greek: Περίκλεια, before 1925: Μπερίσλαφ – Berislaf;[2] Megleno Romanian: Birislav) is a village in Pella regional unit, Macedonia, Greece.

Perikleia had 373 inhabitants in 1981.[3] In fieldwork done by anthropologist Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Perikleia was populated by Vlachs.[3] The Vlach 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] The village is Megleno Vlach (Megleno–Romanian).[4]
