'''Grigoris Bithikotsis''' ([[Greek language|Greek]] '''Γρηγόρης Μπιθικώτσης''', {{IPA2IPA-el|ɣriˈɣo̞ˑris ˌbiθiˈko̞ˑtsis|}}); (December 11, 1922 - April 7, 2005) was a popular [[Greece|Greek]] folk singer/songwriter with a career spanning five decades.
 
Bithikotsis was born in [[Peristeri]], [[Athens]], in 1922 to a poor family. He became interested in music at an early age, and acquired a [[bouzouki]] as soon as he was able. At first, he had to hide the instrument at a friend's house and practice in secret, as his father disapproved of the new [[rembetiko]] style that had captured his son's interest.
