Papyrus 115 (P. Oxy. 4499), designated by 𝔓115 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts) is a fragmented manuscript of the New Testament written in Greek on papyrus. It consists of 26 fragments of a codex containing parts of the Book of Revelation. [1] Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), the manuscript is dated to the third century, c. 225-275 AD.[2] Scholars Bernard Pyne Grenfell and Arthur Hunt discovered the papyrus in Oxyrhynchus, Egypt.

𝔓115 was not deciphered and published until 2011. It is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum.[3]
