Georgios Dimitriou[1] (Шаблон:Lang-el) was a Greek 18th-century author and scholar.

Dimitriou came from one of the notable and literate families of Gjirokaster, then Ottoman Empire.[2] He was a native of that city, today located in southern Albania. He lived at the time when Ali Pasha was the local Ottoman ruler of Epirus. In 1783, he sent a report to the Austrian Empire that described Ali Pasha's background and the activities of his irregular troops in the region.[3]

Dimitriou published two works. One in 1783, entitled Περιγραφή της Βόρειας Αλβανίας και Βόρειας Ηπείρου (Description of Northern Albania and Northern Epirus), which is considered of considerable historical value today.[3] In 1785, he published in Venice a bilingual Greek-Latin Grammar that contained personal observations, Epistles and Maxims, as well as biographies of notable men. This work was in fact a collection of chrestomathy under the guise of a bilingual grammar.[4] It was dedicated to Alexander II Mavrokordatos "Firaris", ruler of Moldavia.[2]
