Georgios Achilleos (Greek: Γεώργιος Αχιλλέως; born 24 December 1980) is a Cypriot sports shooter and past World titlist and World No. 1 in Skeet.

He is a four-time Skeet Shooting medalist in the World Championships, and a four-time Olympian, with his 5th position in Beijing 2008 being to date (as of 2017) Cyprus’ third-best all time placing at the Olympics, after Pavlos Kontides’ silver medal in Laser sailing in London 2012 and Antonis Nikolaidis’ 4th place in Skeet Shooting in Beijing 2008.

He was the national flag bearer at the 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics.

Achilleos has the existing distinction of being the inaugural Cypriot athlete to set a World Record in an Olympic Sport. He is the current WR holder after shooting 125/125 at the 2015 Larnaca ISSF World Cup. His inaugural World Record was in 2005 in Dubai where he scored 124+24.
