Konstantinos Mavromichalis (Greek:Κωνσταντίνος Μαυρομιχάλης;Mani, 1797–Nafplio, 1831), brother of theBey of Mani,Petros Mavromichalis, was aGreek military commander ofManiot forces during theGreek War of Independence, and the assassin of the first head of state ofGreece,Ioannis Kapodistrias.

Along withDemetrios Ypsilantis, he commanded the forces that saved Nafplio fromIbrahim Pasha of Egypt, during theOttoman–Egyptian invasion of Mani. He participated and excelled in the battles ofValtetsi,Lerna Mills,Vergas,Diro,Polyaravos, and others. He served as a member of the Executive of 1824 in theFirst Hellenic Republic, from 9 November 1824 until 17 April 1826.

When two of his brothers, Ioannis and Petros, were captured by government forces under Kapodistrias, Konstantinos andGeorgios Mavromichalis, Petros' son, decided to take revenge. On 27 September 1831, the two Maniots were waiting by the doors of the church ofSaint Spyridon in Nafplio.^[1] Konstantinos shot Kapodistrias through the head and Georgios stabbed him through the heart. However, Konstantinos was shot and wounded by Georgios Kozonis, the one-eyed and one-handedCretan bodyguard of Kapodistrias, while at the same time the enraged crowd rushed against him. He received the final shot from general Fotomaras, who shot him from a nearby house, causing him to fall down from his wounds. The angry mob gathered around him and began hitting him all over his body. A few minutes later he took his last breath, and people dragged his body to Platanos Square (now Syntagma Square) and threw him from the high walls of the fortress into the sea. Georgios took refuge in the French embassy, which protected him from the people who persecuted him, but was eventually forced to hand him over to the authorities for trial. Georgios was convicted of the crime and executed on 10 October.^[2]
