Euphemius of Constantinople (Greek: Εὐφήμιος; died 515) was Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople (490–496). Theophanes calls him Euthymius.[1][2] Prior to his appointment, Euphemius was a presbyter of Constantinople, administrator of a hospital for the poor at Neapolis, unsuspected of any Eutychian leanings, and is described as learned and very virtuous.[2]
