Georgios Bartzokas (alternate spellings: Giorgos, George, Mpartzokas) (Greek: Γιώργος Μπαρτζώκας, born June 11, 1965) is a Greek former professional basketball player and the current head coach of FC Barcelona Lassa. He previously coached Lokomotiv Kuban. He became the first Greek coach to win the EuroLeague title, after winning it in the 2012–13 season with Olympiacos.
Barztokas played professional basketball in the Maroussi club, before some serious knee injuries (torn right knee ACL and later torn left knee ACL) ended his career at age 27.
Bartzokas began working as a basketball coach at the age of 22, while he was still also playing club basketball. He was the assistant coach of Panagiotis Giannakis for several years in Maroussi. In 2006, he signed on as the head coach of Olympia Larissa. That same year with Olympia, he managed to reach the playoffs of the Greek Basket League for the first time in the club's history. The team finished in 7th place, and repeated their playoffs qualification the next year, during the Greek Basket League 2007–08 season.
In 2009, Bartzokas became the head coach of Maroussi. In 2010, he was named the Greek League Coach of the Year. He became the head coach of Panionios in 2010.
