Georgios Papadopoulos (; Greek: Γεώργιος Παπαδόπουλος [ʝeˈorʝi.os papaˈðopulos]; 5 May 1919 – 27 June 1999) was a Greek soldier, who headed a military coup d'état that took place in Greece on 21 April 1967, leading to a junta that ruled the country from 1967 to 1974. Papadopoulos held his dictatorial power until 1973, when he was himself overthrown by his co-conspirator Dimitrios Ioannidis.
Papadopoulos was a colonel of the Artillery. During World War II, he resisted the 1940 Italian invasion but later became an active Axis collaborator.
