Ektor Kaknavatos (Greek: Έκτωρ Κακναβάτος) is the pen name of Greek poet and essayist Yorgοs Kontoyorgis (Γιώργος Κοντογιώργης; 1920 – 9 November 2010), who was born in Piraeus, Greece. Between 1937 and 1941 he studied mathematics in Athens. After World War II he worked as a teacher of mathematics and then as a civil servant in the Ministry of education.
