Angelos Messaris (Greek: Άγγελος Μεσσάρης; 1910 – 6 June 1978) was a Greek footballer. He played for Panathinaikos and he is widely regarded as the best Greek player of the pre-war era. This is probably also due to the myth that for decades followed his sudden and mysterious early leaving from football. He made his last appearance in the football field on 23 April 1931 at the age of 21, in a match against AEK Athens. Panathinaikos were losing 2-0 but Messaris tied the score with two reverse headers and he received great cheering. His nickname was "the Blonde Angel" (Greek: "ο Ξανθός Άγγελος").
