Chrysanthos Mentis Bostantzoglou (Constantinople 1918 – 13 December 1995) and better known under the pen name of Bost (?p?st), was a prolific Greek political cartoonist, playwright, lyricist and painter.

His satirical cartoons and caricatures appeared in many papers such as I Avgi, Tachydromos and Eleftherotypia. Their radical political character (he stood unsuccessfully for election for left-wing parties on several occasions) led to a number of lawsuits.
