Themis Rigas (Greek: Θέμης Ρήγας; born 1945 - died 13 January 1984), popularly nicknamed The Train, was a Greek footballer born in Patras. One of the fastest and most talented wingers of his generation, he was a member of the great Panachaiki football team that impressed Greece in the seventies and qualified to the 1974 UEFA Cup.[2] In 1974, he played abroad in the National Soccer League with Toronto Homer.[3]

He died in a domestic accident in 1984, at the age of 39, leaving behind him the Panachaiki family without one of its most eminent members.
