Laskaris Kananos (or Lascaris Cananus) was a 15th-century Greek traveler to northern Europe who left an account in Medieval Greek of his travels. Kananos may have traveled in 1438–1439 (possibly in connection with the Council of Florence), or he may have been traveling in 1468 collecting alms for the release of prisoners from the Ottoman Empire. Although he has at times been identified with John Kananos, there is no reason other than their surnames to equate the two obscure figures.

has abstract	Ο Λάσκαρις Κανανός (λατιν.: Lascaris Cananus) ήταν Έλληνας ταξιδευτής του 15ου αι. στη βόρεια Ευρώπη, που άφησε μία αναφορά στα μεσαιωνικά ελληνικά για τα ταξίδια του. (el) Laskaris Kananos (o Láscaris Cananus) fue un viajero bizantino del siglo XV que recorrió Europa del Norte, dejando registro en griego vernáculo de sus viajes. Kananos pudo haber viajado en 1438–1439 (posiblemente en conexión con el Consejo de Florencia), o pudo haber estado viajando en 1468 recolectando limosnas para la liberación de prisioneros del imperio otomano. A pesar de que algunas veces ha sido identificado con Juan Canano, no hay ninguna razón más que sus mismos apellidos para igualarlos. Juzgando su interés en la acuñación de monedas de plata en Estocolmo y el comercio de permuta en Bergen, Kananos pudo haber sido un mercader. Además de Estocolmo y Bergen, visitó Noruega, Schleswig, Copenhague, Pomerania, Danzig, Prusia, Livonia, Letonia e Inglaterra, desde donde navegó a Islandia. Los registros que aún perduran de Kananos son escasos, solamente tres páginas de un único manuscrito superviviente del siglo XVI (actualmente en la Biblioteca Nacional de Austria, hist. gr. 113, en folios 174r–175r), que puede ser un fragmento de un trabajo mayor. Ahí, al már Báltico lo llama Venedicos Kolpos ("bahía de los Wendos"). Registró la subordinación de Suecia y Noruega al rey de Dinamarca en la Unión de Kalmar, ya que el rey vivió en Kupanava (Copenhague). También registró que las ciudades de Riga y Revel pertenecían al Arzobispo de Riga y el resto de Livonia al duque del gran maestro de la Orden Teutónica. Se refirió a Islandia como habitada por "comedores de peces" (ictiófagos) y los identificó con la mítica Tule de Claudio Ptolomeo.

Although he has at times been identified with John Kananos, there is no reason other than their surnames to equate the two obscure figures. Judging by his interest in the silver coinage minted in Stockholm and the barter trade in Bergen, Kananos may have been a merchant. Besides Stockholm and Bergen, he visited Norway, Schleswig, Copenhagen, Pomerania, Danzig, Prussia, Livonia, Latvia and England, whence he sailed to Iceland. Kananos' surviving account is short, just three pages in the sole surviving manuscript of the 16th century (now in Vienna, Austrian National Library, hist. gr. 113, at folios 174r–175r). It may be a fragment of a once longer work. The Baltic Sea he calls the Venedicos Kolpos ("Wendish Bay"). He noted the subordination of Sweden and Norway to the king of Denmark in the Kalmar Union, since the king lived in Kupanava (Copenhagen). He noted that the cities of Riga and Revel belonged to the Archbishop of Riga and the rest of Livonia to the duke of the grand master of the Teutonic Order. He refers to Iceland as inhabited by "fish-eaters" (ichthyophagoi) and identifies it with the Thule of Claudius Ptolemy. (en)
