Tzeni Vanou ({{langx|el|Τζένη Βάνου}}, born Eugenia Vrachnou; 10 February 1939 – 5 February 2014) was a Greek singer, born in Athens.

She had planned on studying physics, but she met her mentor, Greek composer Mimis Plessas, who persuaded her to become a singer. She began her career in 1959 performing with the ERT orchestra. In 1964, she won first prize in the Thessaloniki Song Festival.

At age 74, she died at a Piraeus hospital in 2014 from cancer. During her last few months, she had undergone surgery to remove a tumor in her larynx.{{cite web|url=http://greece.greekreporter.com/2014/02/05/famous-greek-singer-tzeni-vanou-passes-away|title=Famous Greek Singer Tzeni Vanou Passes Away|work=greekreporter.com|date=5 February 2014 |accessdate=6 February 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_wsite4_1_05/02/2014_537103 |title=Singer Tzeni Vanou, 75, (sic) dies|work=ekathimerini.com |date=5 February 2014 |accessdate=6 February 2014}}
