The Evelpidon Military Academy (Greek: Στρατιωτική Σχολή Ευελπίδων, lit. "Military School of Great Hopes") is the oldest tertiary level educational institution in Greece still in existence. It was founded in 1828 in Nafplio by Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first president of the modern Greek state.
The institution was created to provide the Hellenic Army with trained professional officers, however today it accepts candidates from many foreign countries.
