Ilias Chatzieleftheriou (born Drama, 1952) is a Greek footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. He holds the title of the top scorer in the history of the Greek Super League 2 of all time, with 152 goals[1][2](one more than Christos Chatziskoulidis), which he scored mainly with the colors of Doxa Dramas (where he also started playing sports at the age of 10), but also with Iraklis, Apollon Kalamarias, PAS Giannina and Agrotikos Asteras, from 1967 to 1986.[3][4]{He could have had a more important career in the Greek Super League, if his career had not been interrupted by a serious injury he suffered - as a player of Iraklis - in the final of the Greek Cup (1980), against Kastoria, due to the exit of Nikos Sarganis. In the first division, Chatzieleftheriou scored 28 goals with Iraklis and Apollon Kalamarias.
In recent years, he has been president of the Doxa Drama veterans' football club.
