Ioannis Paraskevopoulos (Greek: Ιωάννης Παρασκευόπουλος) was a Greek banker and politician who twice served as interim Prime Minister in the 1960s. He was born on 25 December 1900 in Lavda, Elis, and died on 8 April 1984. An independent, he held various government roles over the years.

In 1945, he was part of Archbishop Damaskinos Papandreou’s short-lived government. From October to November 1952, he served as Prime Minister under Dimitrios Kiousopoulos. He later led two interim governments himself: from 30 December 1963 to 18 February 1964, and from 22 December 1966 to 3 April 1967. Paraskevopoulos is remembered for guiding transitional administrations during times of political instability in Greece.
