Spiridon Trikoupis (April 20, 1788February 24, 1873) was a Greek author, orator, diplomat and statesman. He was born in Missolonghi and was son of the primate of Missolonghi.

His funeral oration for his friend Lord Byron, delivered in the cathedral of Missolonghi in 1824, was translated into many languages. A collection of his earlier religious and political orations was published in Paris in 1836. He was the author of "Istoria tis Ellinikis Epanastaseos" (London, 1853-1857), his masterpiece on the history of the Greek revolution. He was the father of Charilaos Trikoupis, also a Prime Minister of Greece.
