Fragiskos Alvertis (Greek: Φραγκίσκος Αλβέρτης) (born June 11, 1974) is a Greek former professional basketball player and current general manager of Panathinaikos Athens. As a player he was the captain of Panathinaikos, where he spent his whole career. On February 3, 2008, Alvertis was chosen as one of the 50 Greatest EuroLeague Contributors over the last half-century by the Euroleague Basketball Experts Committee, in recognition of his major contribution to Panathinaikos' rise on the continental scene.
Alvertis is commonly referred as one of the best pure shooters of European basketball during the 1990s and the beginning of the new millennium. He won the Greek League Three-Point Shootout Contest three years in a row (1996–1998), and averaged 41 percent in three point field goal shooting percentage throughout his EuroLeague career. Alvertis made his eighth EuroLeague Final Four appearance in 2007.
He began his career in 1986, with Glyfada BC, and joined Panathinaikos in 1990. With Panathinaikos, he won eleven Greek League championships, five EuroLeague Championships, eight Greek Cups, and one FIBA Intercontinental Cup. His jersey number (4) was the first Panathinaikos shirt number ever to be retired by the club. It was hung at the beginning of the 2009–10 season, along with the trophy banners above the court of Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall, after his retirement following the 2008–09 season.
