Nikiforos Vrettakos (1912-1991), was a Greek poet whose literary career spanned nearly sixty years, along which he published over eighty-five collections of poetry, eight prose works, a critical study of Nikos Kazantzakis and also a long series of articles and literary essays.

He has received more awards than any other poet of his generation, including the National Literary Prize of Poetry in 1940, 1965 and 1974, the Ourani Foundation Award of the Academy of Athens in 1974 and the Award for Excellence in Letters of the Academy of Athens in 1982, while he was also nominated four times for the Nobel Prize in Literature. In 1987, he was elected to the Academy of Athens in the Chair of Literature.

David Connolly, who has translated several of Vrettakos’ works, writes that his poems are "firmly rooted in the Greek landscape and colored by the Greek light, their themes are ecumenical. His poetry praises the beauty of the natural world and offers a vision of the paradise that the world could be. For Nikiforos Vrettakos the poet can determine the fate of the world. He is a priest of light and truth, proclaiming the message of love, that which cuts paths across the darkness":
