Dimitris Kyriatzis (born 28 November 1998) is an English semi-professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.

Kyriatzis began his senior career with non-League club Henley Town, before signing his first professional contract with Brentford in 2016. After his release the following year, Kyriatzis returned to non-League football and played 18 months of lower league football in Germany between 2018 and 2019.

Youth years
A goalkeeper, Kyriatzis began his career in the youth teams at Laurel Park, Eversley & California and CB Hounslow United and concurrently trained with the Fulham academy. He made the first senior appearances of his career while with Hellenic League First Division East club Henley Town during the 2015–16 season and departing the club in March 2016.

Brentford
Kyriatzis trained at the academy at Championship club Brentford throughout the 2015–16 season and made 24 appearances for the club's Brentford Griffins team during the season. He joined the club on an academy contract March 2016.

On 25 June 2016, Kyriatzis signed a one-year contract to be a part of Brentford's reformed B team. Having spent much of the 2016–17 season behind goalkeepers Ellery Balcombe and Dominic Kurasik in the B team pecking order and after spending time away on loan with the Stevenage U18 team, Kyriatzis was released in May 2017.

Non-League football
After a trial with Dutch club Achilles '29 and a non-playing spell with Woking, Kyriatzis joined Southern League First Division East club Hayes & Yeading United on 14 October 2017. That same day, he made his only appearance for the club with a start in a 4–0 defeat to Ashford Town (Middlesex).
