20th-century Greek military officer and politician
Konstantinos Dovas (; 20 December 1898 – 24 July 1973) was a Greek general and interim Prime Minister.
Dovas was born in Konitsa, in the Janina Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire (present-day northwestern Greece). In 1918, Dovas graduated from the Hellenic Military Academy. During the Greek Civil War between the government and the communist Democratic Army of Greece, he led the resistance of the Konitsa garrison during the Battle of Konitsa. Subsequently, he rose from the rank of Lieutenant General (1954) to Chief of the Hellenic National Defense General Staff.
During his term of office, on 25 March 1955 an agreement between the Army and the CIA on the establishment of a special force entitled "Sheepskin" was made, which subsequently became the Greek component of Gladio, a secret organisation of NATO, CIA and MI6.
After his retirement from the army, he was Chief of the Royal Household of King Paul of Greece.
From 20 September to 4 November 1961, Dovas was prime minister in a transitional government.
