Nikolaos "Nikos" Karabelas (Greek: Νίκος Καράμπελας; born 20 December 1984) is a Greek footballer who plays for Greek club Aris F.C. as a left back.
Karabelas made his debut with his hometown's Paniliakos in the Beta Ethniki in 2004. Two years later he joined Superleague side Aris, and quiclky established himself as a starter for the Yellows.
On 28 January 2009 Karabelas missed a penalty in a 0–0 draw against fierce rivals PAOK, which took Aris out of the Greek Cup finals. He subsequently received threats from the club's fans, and left the club in the end of the season.
On 10 June 2009 Karabelas signed a four-year deal with AEK Athens. After struggling to find his form in his debut season under Dušan Bajević, he appeared consistently in his second season, under Manolo Jiménez, and was deemed "irreplaceable" by the latter.
On 26 July 2012 Karabelas moved abroad for the first time in his career, by agreeing to a two-year deal with La Liga side Levante UD. He made his debut with the club on 19 August, starting and playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–1 home draw against Atletico Madrid. Karabelas appeared in only nine matches during the campaign, with the Valencian side achieving a comfortable mid-table finish.
In his second season with the Granotes, he was the most used left-back by manager Joaquín Caparrós, overtaking veteran Juanfran, and signed a new two-year deal on 20 March 2014. On 1 February 2016, after 3,5 years in Levante UD, the Greek defender signed a six months contract with Segunda División club Real Valladolid.
