Danae Stratou (Greek: Δανάη Στράτου) is a Greek visual and installation artist and a professor. She was born in Athens in 1964.

Stratou studied fine arts at the St Martins College between 1983 and 1988. She works as a partime professor at the Royal Academy of Fine arts in Athene. She represented Greece at the forty-eights Venice Biennale. She also represented Greece in 2001 at the first Valencia Biennale and in 2004 she represented Greece at Transcultures in Belgium.

Together with three other artists (D.A.ST. Arteam) she created in 2010 Desert Breath in the El Gouna dessert. During that project they created 10 hectares off landscape art.

In 2010 Sratou and her husband Yanis Varoufakis founded the non-profit organisation vital Space. Vital Space is based upon the principle that artworks can change the world for the better.

Her work has been on display in the National Museum of Contemporary Art (Εθνικό Μουσείο Σύγχρονης Τέχνης) in Athene. Her works where also on display in museums and private collections in Israel, France, the United States and Egypt.
