'''Georgios Ziras''' was a [[Greeks|Greek]] Royalist colonel mostly known for his role in the attempted coup d'etat of [[1923]].

Ziras, as a Second Lieutenant, fought in the [[struggle for Macedonia]] in the early part of the 20th century. He later fought in the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922)|Greco-Turkish war]] of [[1919]] - [[1922]] as commander of the 16th Infantry Regiment and became known for his bravery and refusal to surrender even when the front collapsed in [[1922]]. Instead, he led his men safely to [[Kios]] (Gemlik) and from there, by sea, to the Greek mainland.

At midnight of [[October 21]] towards [[October 22]], [[1923]], Ziras, along with Generals [[Panagiotis Gargalidis]] and [[Georgios Leonardopulos]], staged an anti-[[Venizelist]], pro-Royalist coup d'etat against the Revolutionary government that governed [[Greece]] after the [[Asia Minor Disaster]].

The coup was initially successful in the Greek countryside but government forces quickly took the initiative and put it down on [[October 27]], [[1923]].

Ziras fled to Yugoslavia.
