Konstantinos Mitsotakis (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Μητσοτάκης Konstantinos Mitsotakis [konstaˈdinos mit͡soˈtacis]; born 31 October [O.S. 18 October] 1918) is a Greek politician who was Prime Minister of Greece from 1990 to 1993. He graduated in law and economics from the University of Athens.

Mitsotakis was born in Halepa village, Chania, Crete, inside an already powerful political family, linked to Eleftherios Venizelos on both sides. His grandfather Kostis Mitsotakis () (1845-1898), a lawyer, journalist and short-time MP of Ottoman Crete, founded the Liberal Party, then "Party of the Barefeet" (Κόμμα των Ξυπολήτων) with Venizelos, and married the latter's sister, Katigo Venizelou, Constantine's grandmother. The 1878 Pact of Halepa, granting an Ottoman Crete a certain level of autonomy, was signed in his very home. His father Kyriakos Mitsotakis (1883–1944) (), also MP for Chania in the Greek Parliament (1915–20) and leader of the Cretan volunteers in the First Balkan War, married Stavroula Ploumidaki, daughter of Charalambos Ploumidakis (), the first Christian mayor of Chania and an MP at the time of the Cretan State, himself a first cousin of Eleftherios Venizelos.
