Giorgos Sideris (Greek: Γιώργος Σιδέρης, born 4 April 1938) is a Greek retired footballer, who played as striker.

Born in 1938, Giorgos began his youth career at Atromitos Piraeus playing in the centre of midfield but his coaches soon became aware of his goalscoring capabilities. When he was promoted to the senior team in 1958 he produced an outstanding debut season in which Sideris became the fulcrum of Atromitos’ attack. The youngsters direct, no-holding-back attacking style plundered 28 goals in 30 league appearances

Sideris transferred to Olympiacos from Atromitos Piraeus in the summer of 1959. Despite having his heart set on a move to Panathinaikos, a friend of his, Savvas Theodoridis, had ushered him towards Olympiacos, fresh off winning their sixth consecutive league title. Olympiacos were keen to continue their domestic dominance, and, despite the aforementioned resistance to the move, the Atromitos president had received an offer too good to refuse and forced the move. The youngster reluctantly joined the Erythrolefki and in return, five Olympiacos players went to Atromitos.
