Leucopetra (from the Greek "white stone") is primarily an ancient and significant Greco-Roman toponym, referring to a rocky promontory in Calabria, near Reggio Calabria, known for its Capo d'Armi lighthouse and for having been a historical and geographical landmark, but the term may also refer to a locality near Corinth (Greece) and, by mythological extension, to the sea goddess Leucothea.
