Germanos Zapheiropoulos (; 1760–1821) was a Greek priest and bishop, who helped prepare the Greek War of Independence in the Peloponnese.
Biography He was born in the village of Mesorrougi of the province of Kalavryta in 1760. His secular name was George. He originated from a wealthy family, with ancestors from Constantinople. His father's name was Zafeiris Zafeiropoulos and his mother's was Efstathia. He was a cousin of the protosynkellos and historian . He participated in the convention of Vostitsa, disagreeing with Papaflessas' confinement and promoting arguments against it. During the fundraiser that took place, he donated 2000 grosia (topical currency at the time). The Turkish authorities gradually became suspicious of the Peloponnesian archbishops’ actions, leading them to conduct an array of arrests. In order to proceed with their plan, they summoned the archbishops to a fraudulent meeting in Tripolitsa. Germanos was amongst those arrested, reaching the city on March 8, having left Kyparissia on March 5. He died as a result of the hardships of his captivity on September 21, 1821.
