Mitch Georgiades (/dʒɔːdʒiːˈɑːdəs/ jaw-jee-AH-dəs;[1] born 28 September 2001) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for Port Adelaide in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Georgiades' father John played 103 games for West Australian Football League (WAFL) club Subiaco and 15 games for Victorian Football League (VFL) club Footscray.[2]

Georgiades made his AFL debut in Round 1 of the 2020 Season against Gold Coast, kicking two goals.

Georgiades, after a strong three-goal outing against Melbourne in Round 9 of the 2020 Premiership Season, he was awarded an AFL Rising Star nomination.[3]

He became one of the few individuals to be nominated for the rising star award twice.[4]

Georgiades only played two senior matches in 2023 after injury his knee whilst attempting a mark in the second quarter of a SANFL game at Unley Oval. This injury ruled Georgiades out for the rest of the season.[5]
