Nikolaos "Nikos" Papadopoulos (Greek: Νίκος Παπαδόπουλος; born 5 October 1971 in Kilkis is a Greek football manager and former football player. He is currently the manager of OFI in the Greek Football League. Papadopoulos is mostly remembered for his 9.5-year spell in OFI. He has also played for Aris, Skoda Xanthi and Apollon Kalamarias in the top tier. In the later stages of his career he played in several clubs in the lower divisions. As a manager, he has coached several clubs in Greece and Cyprus.
After playing youth football, for the club of his village, Apollon Mavroneriou, he moved to nearby professional club Kilkisiakos in 1988. He moved to OFI in the winter transfer window of 1989-1990. In his first season, he was part of the squad that reached the Greek Cup final, although he did not participate in the final. He stayed in OFI for 9.5 years and even managed to become captain of the club. In 1997-1998 received a record 21-match ban for being sent-off in a match against Olympiacos. Totally he appeared in 213 matches for the club and scored 11 goals. His impact for the club was so high that in an internet polling of a local Heraklion website in 2011 Papadopoulos was voted among the all-time best XI of OFI.
