Nicky Papavasiliou (Greek: Νικόδημος Παπαβασιλείου) (born August 31, 1970) is a Cypriot former football midfielder, one of only 2 Cypriots to ever play in the English Premier League.

It was in August 1993 that he signed for Newcastle United for £120,000 from Anorthosis Famagusta FC, making him the first Cypriot to play in the FA Premier League.[2] He made his Newcastle debut against Tottenham on August 14, 1993. He went on to play just seven games for the club before falling out of favour. He signed for OFI Crete in June 1994 for £25,000.

He also played for Apollon Limassol, Enosis Neon Paralimni FC, Olympiakos Nicosia, APOEL and Cyprus national football team.[3]
