Petros Michos (Greek: Πετρος Μίχος) is a former Greek footballer that currently works as a manager. He started his career as a defender with Panetolikos but is better known for his many years with Olympiacos and the Greek national team in the 1980s.

He played there for three seasons before moving to Olympiacos in 1978. He was seen at the time as one of the best central defenders in Greece and he had 10 successful seasons with the Piraeus team. With Olympiacos he won five championships, four of them consecutively (1980, 1981, 1982, 1983 and 1987), a cup (1981) and was also named captain of the team.
