Angelos Pitzamanos (Greek: Άγγελος Πιτζαμάνος; 1467–1535) was a Greek Renaissance painter. The artist is sometimes referred to as Angelos Bitzamanos. He was born in Crete and migrated to Otranto, Southern Italy, where he did most of his work.

A contract between Andreas Pavias and Pitzamanos illustrates that Pitzamanos was his apprentice. Angelos was a student of Andreas Pavias for five years (1482–1487). It is evident that his work featured both the Greek style and the Italian style of the time. Pitzamanos later became a famous master.
