"The Greek Tycoon" is a 1978 film directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring Anthony Quinn, Jacqueline Bisset, James Franciscus and Charles Durning.

The film is loosely based on the life of the Greek mogul Aristotle Onassis (Quinn) and his wife and former U.S. first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (Bissett), widow of President John F. Kennedy, murdered in 1963. Film was initially developed as a biopic with original research and script by Nico Mastorakis. Allen Klein's (ABKCO) involvement dictated that names and characters be fictionalized to avoid legal complexities at the time. Mastorakis, who had signed Anthony Quinn and Jacqueline Bisset, acted as co-producer, securing the on location glossy look of the movie.
