Vassilis Alexakis (; born Athens, December 12, 1943) is a Greek-French writer of numerous novels in Greek, his mother tongue, and French.

His works, drawn from two cultures, are full of tender irony; his style gives the reader an intimate and personal perspective on his stories. In 2006, Les mots étrangers was translated by Alyson Waters and published under the title Foreign Words; this was the first of his novels to be translated into English. In 2007, he received the Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française for Ap. J.-C.
