Nikos Arabatzis (born March 10, 1984 in Serres) is a Greek footballer currently playing for PAOK FC. He usually plays as a right defender but past coaches have also used him as a right midfiedler, making him a modern full-back. He is known for his pace and crossing. He was bought by PAOK FC in the 2006 winter tranfer window and has made an instant impact. He attracted the interest of AEK Athens but the bid of 900.000 euros was rejected to the delight of PAOK fans.

He was unlucky as he had a serious knee injury in the summer of 2007 and had to undergo surgery, for the second time in his career in his right knee. He didn't manage to take part in any of the 2007-8 season game but he will be ready for the next season.

While still in Panserraikos he became member of the Greece national under-21 football team.
