Panagiotis Tachtsidis (Greek: Παναγιώτης Ταχτσίδης; born 15 February 1991) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Italian club Cagliari, on loan from Torino, and the Greek national team.

Tachtsidis was scouted by Toni Savevski, the head of AEK Athens's youth academy at the time, and signed his first professional contract with AEK on 1 November 2007. Shortly after signing his first professional contract, Tachtsidis made his debut for AEK in the Greek Cup against Fostiras. On 27 January 2009, he became the youngest player to have ever played for AEK in the Greek League when he played against Thrasyvoulos, being 16 years and 348 days old; that record, however, has since been surpassed by Taxiarchis Fountas, also for AEK. Against Thrasyvoulos, Tachtsidis scored the winning goal in the 92nd minute to give his team the three points.

On 21 April 2010, Tachtsidis completed a move to Genoa that had already been previously agreed upon in January 2010.

While at Genoa, he joined Cesena on loan for a year in August 2010, with an option to buy half of the registration rights. He then headed to Grosseto on loan until the end of the season in February 2011.

Tachtsidis went on a third loan spell to Verona for the 2011–12 season. His stay at the club turned out very successful, playing in most of Verona's games and helping the club to reach the play-offs for promotion to the Serie A, which they failed to reach.
