Giannis Gianniotas (Greek: Γιάννης Γιαννιώτας; born on 29 April 1993 in Neochori,Greece), is a Greek forward who plays for APOEL FC in the Cypriot First Division, on loan from Olympiacos.

He started his career in youth teams of Aris. In 2011, new head coach Michał Probierz promoted him to the first team, and he made his debut on 5 November 2011, in a game against Olympiacos. He scored his first goal for Aris only during his second appearance for the team, in a game against OFI Crete. For that performance, he was named MVP of matchday 10 in the Greek Superleague. He scored another goal against Levadeiakos, and this one was named the best for the matchday 4. He also scored against Panetolikos F.C. in a 5–1 away loss. In total he scored three goals and he made 19 appearances.

His first goal for this season came against Panathinaikos F.C. in a 1–1 away draw. His next goal came against PAS Giannina F.C. in a 1–2 home loss. He also scored against Asteras Tripolis F.C. in a 1–1 away draw. He managed to score in a Greek Cup match against Kallithea F.C. in a 3–1 away loss.

In June 2013, he was transferred to Fortuna Düsseldorf. His previous club Aris received 450,000 euros for the transfer. He chose the jersey with the number "22" on the back, and signed a contract until 2016. "The people of Fortuna are keen for this transfer, I came to a great club with a great stadium", said the former Aris forward. "I always wanted to play in Germany," he said and concluded: "I hope that I can help Fortuna Düsseldorf to return in Bundesliga". On August 30, 2014 the Rhinelander agreed with the Greek first division Asteras Tripoli on a lending transaction until 30 June 2015.
