'''Constantine IV''' (also '''Constantine VI'''; {{langx|hy|Կոստանդին}}, [[Western Armenian]] [[transliteration]]: ''Gosdantin'' or ''Kostantine''; died 1373) was the [[Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia|King of Armenian Cilicia]] from 1362 until his death. He was the son of [[Hethum of Neghir]], a nephew of [[Hethum I of Armenia]]. Constantine came to the throne on the death of his cousin [[Gosdantin III of Armenia|Constantine III]], whose widow, [[Marie of Armenia|Maria]], daughter of [[Oshin of Corycos]], he married. 

Constantine formed an alliance with [[Peter I of Cyprus]], offering him the port and castle of [[Corycus]]. On Peter's death in 1369, Constantine looked for a treaty with the [[Sultan of Egypt]]. The barons were unhappy with this policy, fearing annexation by the sultan, and in 1373 Constantine was murdered. Upon his death he was succeeded by his distant cousin [[Leo V of Armenia|Leo V]], one of the [[Lusignan|Poitiers-Lusignan]] dynasty, who would become the last king of Cilician Armenia.
