List of kings of Greece

This is a list of kings of Greece, that is, kings of the modern nation-state of Greece. Only Otto I was actually styled King of Greece (Greek: Βασιλεύς τῆς Ἑλλάδος). His successor, George I, was styled King of the Hellenes (Βασιλεύς τῶν Ἑλλήνων), as were all future monarchs.

The House of Wittelsbach held the Greek Crown between 1832 and 1862, when it passed to the House of Glücksburg.

A republic was established and the monarchy was abolished following a public referendum in 1973, held by the then-ruling military regime. The abolition of the monarchy was re-confirmed in a referendum in 1974, after the restoration of democratic rule. The monarchy was also abolished during the Second Hellenic Republic (1924–1935).
