Konstantinos Demertzis was the Greek Prime Minister between November 1935 and April 1936, head of a caretaker government.

Demertzis was born in 1876. He was chosen on November 30, 1935, to head a caretaker government at a time when neither of the two major parties - Komma Fileleftheron and Laiko Komma - formed a majority in the Hellenic Parliament. Demertzis died, in office, of a heart attack on the morning of April 13, 1936. King George II appointed Gen. Ioannis Metaxas to succeed him.
