Valenti (Greek : Βαλέντι) is a rock close to the northwestern coast of Crete in the Aegean Sea. ^[1] It is just south of the island of Imeri Gramvousa and the islet of Arnaouti. ^[1] Administratively, it is located within the municipality of Kissamos, in Chania regional unit.

Valenti is mentioned in poems and mantinades and usually with Gramvousa. ^[1] In March 2008, a fatal nautical accident, resulting in the death of a 42-year-old man, occurred close to the rock and it is noted in a bulletin of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Islands and Fisheries. ^[2]
