Vasilios Tsiartas (Greek: Βασίλειος Τσιάρτας; born 12 November 1972) is a Greek former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. He is considered by many to be the greatest modern No.10 in Greek history.
He was an integral part of Greece's Euro 2004 squad, during which in the penultimate match of the tournament he provided the assist for the only silver goal ever scored in an international football match, en-route to Greece's ultimate victory.
