Ioannis Logothetis was Potentate of Livadeia, Senator of the Executive Body of the Greek Government, and a politician. He was one of the leaders of the uprising in the city against the Ottomans. Initiated in the Filiki Eteria in 1819 by Zarifis, he was accused along with other nobles by the Turkish voivode that they were agents of Ali-Pasha and he tried to have them put to death but eventually were acquitted. He served as Plenipotentiary of Livadeia in the First National Assembly of Epidaurus in 1821 and 1826, and governor of Aegina in 1824.
