Kottas Christou () or Kote Hristov (Bulgarian/Macedonian: Коте Христов), known simply as Kottas or Kote, and often referred to as Konstantinos Christou (), was a Slavophone Greek revolutionary chieftain in Western Macedonia during the Macedonian Struggle.

A native of Roulia, Kottas served as its village elder and later was involved in anti-Ottoman rebel activity, killing several Ottoman officers. He was first associated with the pro-Bulgarian Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO) and afterwards with the pro-Greek irregular Hellenic Macedonian Committee. He was captured by the Ottomans, convicted of robbery and hanged in Monastir in 1905.
