Neophytus V of Constantinople (Greek: Νεόφυτος; died 1711) was Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople for a few days in 1707.[1]

Life

Neophytus was appointed Metropolitan of Heraclea on 15 May 1689.[2]: 174  The bishops and the laity[3] elected him as Patriarch of Constantinople on 20 October 1707.[2]: 40  He was not confirmed however by the Ottoman Sultan, who reserved the right, as previously the Byzantine Emperor, to confirm the election. Thus, in five days, Neophytus V was deposed and he remained Metropolitan of Heraclea until 1711, the probable year of his death.[2]: 40
