Dimitrios Gounaris (Greek: Δημήτριος Γούναρης) (1866-1922) was the Prime Minister of Greece from March 10, 1915 to August 23, 1915 and April 8, 1921 to May 16, 1922. He was the right-wing opponent of his contemporary Eleftherios Venizelos.

Gounaris was noted for his opposition to Greece's involvement in the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922 and World War I. He was executed in Athens, in 1922, for his role in the Asia Minor disaster.
