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. He was born in Geraki, Laconia on 9 September 1881.

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.

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