Efstathios Tavlaridis (born January 25, 1980), sometimes known as Stathis Tavlaridis, is a Greek footballer. He currently plays for Lille OSC in the centre of defence.

He started his acreer at Iraklis FC and in 2001 he was transferred to Arsenal for a fee of $3,000,000[citation needed] at the age of 21. He never fully broke into the first team, unable to displace Sol Campbell and Kolo Touré, and spent a period on loan to Portsmouth. He made eight appearances for Arsenal, all but one of them in the League Cup. In early 2004 he was loaned to Lille OSC and the deal was made permanent that summer.
