'''Ioannis "Yiannis" Grivas''', (born [[1923]]), [[Greece|Greek]] judge, was a non-party interim Prime Minister of Greece.

Grivas was born in Kato Tithorea in the region of [[Lokris]]. He studied law at the [[University of Athens]] and in [[1954]] he became a judge. In [[1979]] he was appointed to the "Areios Pagos"([[Supreme Court of Greece]] for Civil and Criminal Cases). He became vice-president of the court in [[1986]] and president in [[1989]]. He was a member of the court that tried the leaders of the [[1967]] military regime after its fall in [[1974]].

In [[1987]] Grivas was the president of the special court that tried a vice-minister of the government of [[Andreas Papandreou]] on corruption charges.

In [[1989]], when the Greek Parliament was deadlocked between the [[PASOK]] and [[New Democracy]] parties, the Constitution requiring that the President of one of Greece's Supreme Courts be appointed interim Prime Minister, Grivas agreed to head a caretaker government to preside over fresh elections. He took office on [[October 11]], [[1989]]. After the elections produced another deadlocked Parliament, he resigned on [[November 23]], [[1989]], in favour of [[Xenophon Zolotas]], who formed a non-party government. Grivas retired in [[1990]].
