Efstathios Tavlaridis (born January 25, 1980 in Serres), sometimes known as Stathis Tavlaridis, is a Greek football defender. He currently plays for AS Saint-Étienne in the French Ligue 1.

He started his career at Iraklis FC and in 2001 was transferred to Arsenal 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. In June 2007, he signed a three year deal with AS Saint-Étienne.
