Konstantinos Skenderis (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Σκενδέρης, 1864-1959) was a Greek journalist and author. He was born in Moscopole, modern southeast Albania, when the city was under Ottoman rule.[1] He studied at the Phanar Greek Orthodox College.[1]

In 1891 he moved to Korçë.[1] From 1910 he published there the newspaper named O Pelasgos (Greek: Ο Πελασγός The Pelasgian). When his homeland came under Greek administration (Oct. 1914 – Sept. 1916), Skenderis got elected as member of the Greek Parliament for the Korytsa Prefecture in the following elections (December 1915).[1][2] From 1916 he lived in Athens where he continued to publish his newspaper until 1940.[3][4]
