'''Zois Kaplanis''' was a [[Greeks|Greek]] benefactor of the [[18th century]].

Kaplanis was born in Grammeno, [[Ioannina prefecture|Ioannina]], in [[1736]]. Orphaned at a very young age, he left his home town for [[Yiannina]] in [[1750]], where he lived with some relatives who were furriers. In [[1754]], he migrated to Bucharest, where he first worked as a labourer and later went into business.
In [[1774]], he moved to Moscow where, as a merchant, he accumulated a fortune.

Kaplanis used his wealth to benefit the less fortunate: he gave 10,000 rubles to the Imperial Orphanage, supported the hospital of Ioannina and contributed towards the [[Great School of the Nation]] in [[Constantinople]].
After his death in [[1806]], he willed even more funds towards the prison of Ioannina, the poor of Grammeno, Orthodox seminaries and hospitals in [[Greece]] and Russia.
