Stass Paraskos (Greek: Στας Παράσκος; 17 March 1933 – 4 March 2014) was a British-Cypriot painter, sculptor, and writer. Born and raised in Cyprus, he spent much of his life working and teaching in England, where he famously became embroiled in a 1966 obscenity trial, before returning to Cyprus to open the island's first school of art.
