Iakovos Trivolis (died 1547) was a Greek Renaissance humanist and writer. He published a historical work titled History of Tallapieras after the exploits of the namesake Venetian ship captain, and the Story of the King of Scotia and the Queen of England, inspired by part of the Decameron.

Both were written in modern Greek, and are sometimes credited as among the first to be published in that language since most Greek scholars wrote in the Koine.[1]
