Kharilaos Vasilakos (1877 - 1969) was a Greek athlete. He competed at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens.
Vasilakos was one of 17 athletes to start the marathon race. He finished in second place, behind Spiridon Louis, with a time of 3:06.03 as one of only nine finishers. He had won the Greek qualifying competition (the first marathon race ever held) with a time of 3 hours and 18 minutes. Both races were on 40 kilometre courses rather than the now-standard 42.195 kilometres.
