Dimitrios Koukoulitsios was a Greek football player, one of the greatest talents of the 1970s. He played only for his hometown team AEL from 1972 to 1979. He became a professional at the early age of 15 and he earned 119 caps, scoring 22 goals. During this period, he was a part of U-17, U-19 and U-21 Greece national teams.

Koukoulitsios died in a car accident in Thiva on 6 September 1979, along with his teammate Dimitrios Mousiaris. He was only 19. In the car was Giannis Valaoras too, who survived and became one of AEL's best of all times.
