Euphemius of Constantinople (Greek: Εὐφήμιος; died c. 515) was patriarch of Constantinople (490–496). Theophanes the Confessor calls him Euthymius. Prior to his appointment, Euphemius was a presbyter of Constantinople, administrator of a hospital for the poor at Neapolis, unsuspected of any Eutychian leanings, and is described as learned and very virtuous.
