Napoleon (Napoleo) Lapathiotis (31 October 1888 – 7 January 1944) was a Greek poet.
A native of Athens, he began writing and publishing poetry when he was eleven. In 1907, along with others, he established the Igiso magazine, in which he published his works. In 1909 he graduated in law from the University of Athens. His first book of poems was published in 1939. Poor in later life and a drug addict, he committed suicide with a revolver on 7 January 1944.[citation needed]
The movie Meteor and Shadow was based on his life.
