Count Augustinos Ioannis Maria Kapodistrias (Greek: Αυγουστίνος Ιωάννης Μαρία Καποδίστριας; 1778–1857) was a Greek soldier and politician. He was born in Corfu^[2] and studied geology. Augustinos Kapodistrias was the younger brother of Viaros Kapodistrias and of the first Governor of Greece Ioannis Kapodistrias.

After the assassination of his brother Ioannis Kapodistrias on 9 October 1831, Augustinos succeeded him as head of the governing council, and in the office of governor. His six-month rule was marked by political instability and the country's slide to anarchy.

On 28 March 1832, Augustinos took his brother's embalmed body, his correspondence, and some of his personal belongings, boarded a Russian frigate, and left for Corfu. From there, he travelled on to Saint Petersburg, where he settled, receiving a pension from the Russian government. On 16 July 1840 the Ionian States, under British protection, confirmed his noble title of Count Kapodistrias. He died in May 1857, leaving no descendants.

The remains of Ioannis and Augustinos Kapodistrias and their father now rest in the Monastery of Our Lady of the Sign in Corfu.
