Nikolaos Siranidis (born February 26, 1976 in Athens) is a Greek diver who competed in the synchronised 3 metre springboard competition at the 2004 Summer Olympics. After a bizarre event where the Chinese, Russian and American teams failed, Siranidis won the gold medal together with Thomas Bimis. This was Greece's first-ever gold medal in diving and the hosts' first gold of the 2004 Athens Olympics, and the diver pair therefore became very popular in Greece.
Siranidis also competed in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, where he placed 36th in the Men's 3 Metre Springboard.
