Nikos Sotiriadis was a Greek football player of the 1930s era.
Sotiriadis was born in Mudanya, Asia Minor in 1908. After the Asia Minor Disaster of 1922, his family came to Thessaloniki. He played goalkeeper for PAOK Thessaloniki from 1932 until the outbreak of World War II.
During the war, Sotiriadis saw action in the Albanian front as a NCO and fell on January 28, 1941.
Sotiriadis was capped once by the National Football Team of Greece, in a 1938 World Cup qualifier against Palestine. This made him the first PAOK-player to be capped.
