Stefanos Dragoumis (Greek:Στέφανος Δραγούμης; 1842 – 17 September 1923^[1]) was a judge, writer and thePrime Minister of Greece from January to October 1910. He was the father ofIon Dragoumis.

Dragoumis was born inAthens. His grandfather,Markos Dragoumis (1770–1854), who was born in a prominentGreek family^[2] fromVogatsiko in the presentKastoria regional unit, had been a member of the 1814–1821 revolutionaryFiliki Eteria, while his fatherNikolaos Dragoumis was a secretary ofIoannis Kapodistrias. Born inAthens in 1842, Dragoumis studied law at theUniversity of Paris and became a judge.

He became Secretary-General of the Ministry of Justice and was very active politically. He was later elected a member ofParliament and served as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Justice and Minister of the Interior. He was also active in theMacedonian Struggle. The organizationMacedonian Committee was formed in 1904 by Stephanos Dragoumis in Athens.

Following theGoudi Revolt by theMilitary League in 1909, the political processes in Greece were in a state of turmoil. The issue ofCretan annexation and military reforms loomed large. AfterKiriakoulis Mavromichalis resigned as Prime Minister in January 1910, Dragoumis was appointed as part of a reform government and the Military League dissolved. At the same time,Eleftherios Venizelos arrived in Athens from Crete. In March, the Greek Parliament decided to convoke a Revisionary Parliament to revise theGreek Constitution. The Dragoumis government responded positively to the demands of its dual mission: to secure a smooth path towards the process of reform and to complete its legislative programme.^[3] By September, Venizelos had arrived in Athens and by drawing large crowds to rallies had established his political strength.King George invited Venizelos to form a government and Dragoumis resigned.

During theBalkan Wars, he served as Governor-General ofCrete, and later (June 1913) ofMacedonia. During theNational Schism, he sided with the anti-Venizelist, royalist faction. He was elected to Parliament in theDecember 1915 elections, which the Venizelists boycotted, and served as Finance Minister in theAlexandros Zaimis andStephanos Skouloudis cabinets. Dragoumis was dismissed from his seat in 1917, when Venizelos re-instated the May 1915 Parliament ("Lazarus Parliament"), but was re-elected as an MP in theNovember 1920 elections. He died inAthens.
