Georgios Simiriotis ( Greek Γεώργιος Σημηριώτης , * 1886 ; † 20th century ) was a Greek tennis player .

Simiriotis won a silver medal in mixed doubles at the Olympic Intermediate Games in Athens in 1906. He played alongside Sophia Marinou . They reached the final, but had to admit defeat to the French Marie and Max Décugis . In the men's singles, Simiriotis was eliminated from the Dutchman Gerard Scheurleer in the quarterfinals. In the men's doubles, he lost with Nikolaos Zarifis against Zdeněk and Ladislav Žemla in the game for third place and the bronze medal.

He is the brother of Esme Simiriotou , who won gold in singles in the same games. Her mother comes from a rich banking dynasty of Georgios Zarifis. That is why Georgios was probably related to his doubles partner.
