Rezim 4 Agustus (Yunani: Καθεστώς της 4ης Αυγούστου, romanized:Kathestós tis tetártis Avgoústoucode: el is deprecated ), yang juga lebih dikenal sebagai rezim Metaxas (Καθεστώς Μεταξάcode: el is deprecated , Kathestós Metaxá), adalah sebuah rezim diktatorial di bawah kepemimpinan Jenderal Ioannis Metaxas yang memerintah Kerajaan Yunani dari 1936 sampai 1941.
↑The 4th of August Regime synthesized elements of authoritarian conservatism—such as its reverence for the Orthodox Church—with fascist aesthetics, organizational methods, and ideological influences. Metaxas’s promotion of a "Third Hellenic Civilization" echoes similar narratives of national rebirth seen in the "Third Rome" (Fascist Italy) and the "Third Reich" (Nazi Germany), aligning with the fascist concept of national palingenesis. Thus, while Metaxas himself may not have been a fascist, there is a strong argument that the regime he led bore the hallmarks of fascism.
