Diomidis Symeonidis (1908 – 24 April 1981) was a Cypriot footballer, and one of the founders of APOEL.
Symeonidis was born in 1908 and was, along with his brother Christos, a footballer of Aetos - a local Nicosia club - until 1926 when he met Georgios Poulias.

His career at PAO ended in 1934 due to an injury and Symeonidis returned to Cyprus where he was player/coach for APOEL and for Enosis Neon Trust.
He won one greek championship (1930) and one cypriot championship (1935).
During his career, Symeonidis was capped 5 times by the Greece national football team. He died in 1981 in his late 70s.[1]
