Panagiotis Michanidis (Greek: Παναγιώτης Μηχανίδης) was a leader and fighter of the Greek Revolution of 1821 from Maroneia, Thrace.
[1] Before the revolution, he was a member of the Filiki Etaireia, and had the rank of Apostle.
He vigorously spread the idea of the Revolution and publicised the events in Kalamata.
When he left Kalamata, Michanidis continued his work of transmitting the news.
This, along with his way of writing it, acted as a morale boost for the revolutionaries.
