Ierakas (Greek: Ιέρακας) is a small village built along a natural fjord on the south east coast of Laconia, Greece. It is part of the municipal unit of Zarakas. Ierakas is famous for its port or limani (Greek: Λιμάνι), providing docks for yachts and boats. The port village includes a hotel, restaurants, taverns and cafés, popular for their fresh fish and seafood throughout the year. The limani is also the location of the ruins of the ancient town of Zarax.
