Panagiotis Poulitsas (Greek: Παναγιώτης Πουλίτσας, 9 September 1881 – 16 January 1968) was a Greek judge and archeologist who briefly served as interim Prime Minister of Greece from 4 April 1946 to 18 April 1946.[1] He was born in Geraki, Laconia on 9 September 1881.[2][3]

As President of the Council of State, he took the premiership of an interim government from 4 to 18 April 1946 after the troubled 31 March 1946 elections, which were simultaneous with the reigniting of the Greek Civil War.

In 1947, he became a member of the Archaeological Society of Athens and of the Academy of Athens, of which he was elected president in 1954.[4]

He died in Athens on 16 January 1968 at the age of 86.[5] He was the maternal grandfather of the famous author and playboy Taki Theodoracopulos.[6]
