Theoclite or Theoclite the Wonderworker (Greek: Θεοκλητώ η θαυματουργή) was a Byzantine and Eastern Orthodox saint of the 9th century. Living under the reign of the iconoclastic Emperor Theophilos, she distinguished herself by her numerous actions in favor of the poor and her Christian life in general. Her incorrupt relics were believed by the Eastern Orthodox to be the source of several miracles. She is commemorated on August 3rd with the title of Venerable.
