Xenophon Giosmas (Kırkağaç 1906 - January 14, 1975) was a Greek war criminal and Nazi collaborator.[1]

During the Nazi Occupation of Greece between 1941 and 1944, he was the leader of a collaborationist paramilitary force in Pieria and later Thessaloniki. He was sentenced to death in 1945, but in 1952 he was released from prison.[2]

In 1963 he was involved in the assassination of left-wing Member of Parliament Gregoris Lambrakis and was jailed by order of Examining magistrate Christos Sartzetakis, who later became President of Greece.

He died in 1975.
