Louis Tsatoumas (Greek: Λούης Τσάτουμας, born 12 February 1982) is a Greek long jumper.
He was born in Messene.
On 2 June 2007 in Kalamata he jumped 8.66 metres, achieving a personal best. The performance was the best in the world since Iván Pedroso leaped 8.70 m to win the gold medal at the 1995 World Championships. Tsatoumas ranks as the eighth best long jumper in history and holds the European record in the event at low altitude.
At 2008 Olympics he had the longest qualifying jump with 8.27 m, but after three consecutive fouls in the final he finished in last place.
