Pavlos Polakis (Greek: Παύλος Πολάκης; born in Sfakia) is a Greek surgeon and politician.

From 2010, Polakis has been the mayor of the city of Sfakia on the island of Crete, being reelected in 2014. In the January 2015 legislative election, he became a member of the Hellenic Parliament for Chania. He was appointed to the First Cabinet of Alexis Tsipras as Alternate Minister of the Interior and Administrative Reconstruction.[1] Reelected in the September 2015 legislative election, Polakis was appointed Alternate Minister of Health in the Second Tsipras Cabinet.

In May 2016 he made a controversial appearance in a press conference held at the Ministry of Health where he was caught smoking[2] despite (1) his ministry being responsible for enforcing ban of smoking in closed public places and (2) himself being Alternate Minister of Health
