Georgios "George" Limniatis (alternate spellings: Giorgos, Giorgios) (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Γιώργος Λιμνιάτης; born March 22, 1971) is a Greek retired professional basketball player and professional basketball coach, currently managing Peristeri of the Greek Basket League and the Basketball Champions League. During his athlete days, he played at the point guard position.
Limniatis began his career in 1990, with the Greek club Panellinios. In 1992, he moved to the Greek club Olympiacos. With Olympiacos, he won three Greek League championships (1993, 1994, 1995), and the Greek Cup (1994). He then played with the Greek clubs Papagou, Panionios, and Dafnis.
In 2000, he joined PAOK Thessaloniki, where he played for three seasons. He returned to Panellinios for the 2003–04 season. He then played with Ionikos NF, during the 2004–05 season.
He spent the 2005–06 season with Doukas, and the 2006–07 season with Sporting. Following the 2006–07 season, he retired from playing professional basketball.
Limniatis was a member of the Greek junior national teams. He played with Greece's junior national teams at the 1992 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship, where he won a silver medal, and at the 1993 FIBA Under-21 World Cup.[1]
After he retired from playing professional basketball, Limniatis became a basketball coach. On February 22, 2023, Limniatis received his first professional head coaching position with Lavrio, replacing Christos Serelis for the rest of the season. Despite helping the club avoid relegation and having renewed his contract earlier in the year for the upcoming season, Limniatis unexpectedly parted ways with Lavrio on July 14, 2023.
In the 2024 offseason, Limniatis was picked to replace Vassilis Spanoulis as the head coach of Peristeri.
