The following is a chronological list of [[Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople|bishops and ecumenical patriarchs of Constantinople]]. The historical data on the first 25 bishops is limited with modern scholars debating their authenticity. The Foundation of the See by [[Andrew the Apostle]] is met with similar amounts of skepticism with scholars believing it to be a later tradition.{{efn|Andrew's legend is not attested before the mid-9th century and was not fully accepted until the mid-11th.<ref name=Dvornik/> The first list of bishops was allegedly written by [[Dorotheus of Tyre]] {{Circa}} 300 AD, but modern scholars have shown that this was a 9th-century [[forgery]]. In fact, "there is no evidence of any significant Christian community at Byzantium before [[Metrophanes of Byzantium]]... Had there been a pre-Constantinian Christian community in Byzantium, it would have been small and under the jurisdiction of a bishop of a neighboring region".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Limberis |first=Vasiliki |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nbSHAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA13 |title=Divine Heiress - The Virgin Mary and the Making of Christian Constantinople |date=2002 |publisher=[[Routledge]] |isbn=978-1-134-86279-5 |pages=10–15}}</ref> Almost all early sources refer to Metrophanes as the first bishop. His successor Alexander is often called the first [[archbishop]], but this title doesn't appear to have been used before the 5th century.{{sfn|ODB|p=155}} The 10th-century [[Pseudo-Simeon]], probably using an independent source, states that there were indeed bishops before Metrophanes, but only records [[Philadelphus of Byzantium]] (under [[Caracalla]]), [[Eugenius I of Byzantium]] (under [[Gordian III]]) and [[Rufinus of Byzantium]] (under [[Numerian]]). Either way, even if Metrophanes had predecessors (which seems unlikely), their names were not recorded.<ref name=Dvornik>{{Cite book |last=Dvornik |first=Francis |url=http://macedonia.kroraina.com/en/fdap/dvornik_the_idea_of_apostolicity_1958.pdf |title=The Idea of Apostolicity in Byzantium and the Legend of the Apostle Andrew |publisher=[[Harvard University Press]] |year=1958 |isbn=978-0-88402-004-2 |pages=223–264}}</ref>}} The list is mostly based on the compilation made by Demetrius Kiminas,<ref name=Kiminas>{{Cite book |last=Kiminas |first=Demetrius |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QLWqXrW2X-8C&pg=PA30 |title=The Ecumenical Patriarchate |date=2009 |publisher=[[Wildside Press]] |isbn=978-1-4344-5876-6 |pages=30–44}}</ref> but there is no single "official" numbering of bishops.

== Archbishops/Patriarchs of Constantinople ==
The official title of the bishop became "archbishop of Constantinople, New Rome, and ecumenical patriarch" in the 6th century, but scholars often use the terms "archbishop" and "patriarch" for earlier bishops. The [[First Council of Constantinople]] (381) concluded that "the bishop of Constantinople, however, shall have the prerogative of honor after the bishop of Rome", while the [[Council of Chalcedon]] (451) concluded that "the bishop of New Rome shall enjoy the same privileges as the bishop of Old Rome". Modern scholars use the term "[[patriarch]]" after either 381 or 451.{{efn|There is some confusion surrounding the titulature of the early bishops. It is often stated that the title of [[archbishop]] was adopted shortly after 330.<ref>[https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ecumenical-Patriarchate-of-Constantinople Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople]. ''[[Encyclopædia Britannica]]''.</ref> The ''[[Dictionary of Christian Biography and Literature to the End of the Sixth Century]]'' refers to [[Nectarius of Constantinople]] as the first archbishop,<ref>[https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Dictionary_of_Christian_Biography_and_Literature_to_the_End_of_the_Sixth_Century/Alexander,_St.,_bishop_of_Byzantium Alexander, St., bishop of Byzantium]. ''Dictionary of Christian Biography and Literature to the End of the Sixth Century''</ref> while [[Venance Grumel]] refers to him as the first patriarch. The ''[[Catholic Encyclopedia]]'' states that he "may be counted its first patriarch".<ref>[https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10737a.htm#:~:text=(Nechtarios)%2C%20Patriarch%20of%20Constantinople,second%20general%20council%20(381) Nectarius] ''Catholic Encyclopedia''</ref> [[Socrates of Constantinople]] ''Historia Ecclesiastica'' ({{circa}} 440) indicate that the bishop was already called "patriarch" by his time.{{sfn|ODB|p=155}}}} The chronology mostly follows Demetrius Kiminas (2009),<ref name="Kiminas" /> who mostly uses the dates established by [[Venance Grumel]] (1958).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bishops/Patriarchs of Constantinople |url=https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/byzantium/texts/byzpatcp.asp |access-date=27 July 2024 |website=Internet History Sourcebooks Project}}</ref> See also the lists in the ''[[Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium]]'' (1991){{sfn|ODB|p=520–523}} and the ''Encyclopedia of the Byzantine Empire'' (2015).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Lawler |first=Jennifer |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sEWeCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA327 |title=Encyclopedia of the Byzantine Empire |date=2015 |publisher=[[McFarland & Company]] |isbn=978-1-4766-0929-4 |pages=327–328}}</ref>

During the 16th session of the [[Council of Chalcedon]] (October–November 451), also known as the Fourth [[Ecumenical Council]], a resolution was passed elevating the See of Constantinople to a status equal to Rome in ecclesiastical matters, granting it second place after Rome.<ref>"Pope Saint Leo I and Council of Chalcedon", Papal Encyclicals Online, https://www.papalencyclicals.net/councils/ecum04.htm. Accessed 23 January 2025.</ref> The resolution was formally rejected by the [[Pope Leo I]] and the Western church; however, it was largely accepted in the East, becoming known as Canon 28. This canon would later become the foundation of the [[Pentarchy]] of patriarchates.

In 1054, the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] cut ties to the [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic Church]] as a result of the Great [[East–West Schism]].

[[Image:Clasm Chludov.jpg|thumb|220px|This page of the [[iconodule]] ''[[Chludov Psalter]]'' illustrates the line "They gave me [[gall]] to eat, and when I was thirsty they gave me [[vinegar]] to drink" with a picture of a soldier offering Christ vinegar on a sponge attached to a pole. Patriarch [[John VII of Constantinople]] is depicted rubbing out a painting of Christ with a similar sponge attached to a pole. John VII is caricatured, here as on other pages, with untidy straight hair sticking out in all directions, which was considered ridiculous by the Byzantines.]]

=== 1208–1261 (in Nicaea) ===
On 12 April 1204, the [[Fourth Crusade]] [[Sack of Constantinople|sacked and conquered Constantinople]]. The Crusaders established their [[Latin Patriarchate of Constantinople|own line of Catholic patriarchs]] in the city, while the former Orthodox patriarch John X fled in exile to [[Thrace]]. John X died in Thrace in the spring of 1206.<ref name=":0">{{A History of the Byzantine State and Society|page=713}}</ref>

After 1204, various Byzantine warlords struggled to establish their legitimacy and sought to reconquer Constantinople. One of the major contenders, [[Theodore I Laskaris]] of [[Empire of Nicaea|Nicaea]], sought legitimacy through religion. He invited John X to Nicaea, though the deposed patriarch refused the invitation up until his death.<ref name=":0" /> After John's death, Laskaris sent letters to [[Pope Innocent III]] in hopes of authorizing Orthodox clerics to elect a new Orthodox patriarch and seeking recognition of himself as the supreme head of the Orthodox community, though both requests were ignored by the pope.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Angold |first=Michael |title=The Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire, ''c.'' 500–1492 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |date=2017 |isbn=9781409410980 |editor-last=Shepard |editor-first=Jonathan |pages=742–743 |chapter=After the Fourth Crusade - the Greek rump states and the recovery of Byzantium |orig-date=2008}}</ref> In 1208, Laskaris nevertheless appointed his own new patriarch, [[Michael IV of Constantinople]], who in turn formally crowned Laskaris as emperor.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Ostrogorsky |first=George |url=https://archive.org/details/kupdf.net_george-ostrogorsky-history-of-the-byzantine-state/mode/2up |title=History of the Byzantine State |date=1968 |publisher=Blackwell |edition=2nd |pages=427–428 |language=en |lccn=68-28316}}</ref> The status of the "Patriarchs of Constantinople" based in Nicaea remained disputed outside of the Empire of Nicaea until the reconquest of Constantinople in 1261.<ref name=":1">{{The Late Medieval Balkans|page=91}}</ref>

Greece, which was [[London Protocol (1830)|recognized as an independent country]] in 1830, [[Adoption of the Gregorian calendar|adopted the modern Gregorian calendar]] in 1923, followed by Turkey in 1926. The difference between the [[Gregorian calendar|Gregorian]] and [[Julian calendar|Julian calendars]] is of 12 days, meaning that some sources may give a different date depending on the calendar used (see also [[Old Style and New Style dates]]). The list follows the Julian dates used at the time in Greece and the Ottoman Empire.

On 23 July 1833, the [[Church of Greece]] declared itself [[autocephalous]]. It was followed by the [[Romanian Orthodox Church]] in 1864, the [[Bulgarian Exarchate]] in 1872, and the [[Serbian Orthodox Church]] in 1879, thus reducing the territorial extent of the [[Ecumenical Patriarchate]]'s jurisdiction.
