Nikoleta 'Nikol' Kyriakopoulou (Greek: Νικολέτα "Νικολ" Κυριακοπούλου, born 21 March 1986) is a Greek retired pole vaulter. Nikoleta was 8th at the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2021. She also won the bronze medal at the World Championships in Beijing in 2015 jumping 4.80m. During the 2015 season, she set five Greek records (indoor and outdoor) raising the bar to 4,83 meters.[1] The same year, she became the first Greek athlete to win the IAAF Diamond League.[2] During her career she broke 11 times the Greek Narional record (indoor and outdoor).

Her first success in a major event was in 2012 when she won the bronze medal at the European Championships in Helsinki. One year earlier, in 2011, she finished 8th at the IAAF World Championships in Daegu. She also won the 2009 Mediterranean Games with a Games record of 4.50 meters, while as a junior athlete she was 6th at the World Championships in Grosseto in 2004.

Nikoleta did not compete in 2016 Rio Olympics due to injury.

In 2017 she became a mother of a baby girl and announced her return to competition for 2018. She won the silver medal at the 2018 European Championships and bronze medal at the European Championships in Glasgow in 2019.

She was named the Greek Female Athlete of the Year for 2015.[3] Nikoleta retired from competing in 2024 after 22 years of a successful career.
