Giorgos Vasos Vassiliou (Greek: Γιώργος Βασιλείου; born 20 May 1931) is a Cypriot politician, who served as President of Cyprus from 1988 to 1993. He was also the President of United Democrats from 1996 to 2005 and Member of the Cypriot House of Representatives from 1996 to 2001. Prior to entering politics, he was a successful businessman.

As President, he oversaw a successful period of both social and economic reform. This included the dismantling of the system of gathering information on politically active citizens. He sought to find a diplomatic solution to the Cyprus Problem, but was unable to do so and ultimately lost re-election.
