Anthimus I of Constantinople (Greek: Ἄνθιμος; died 548) was a Miaphysite, patriarch of Constantinople from 535–536. He was the bishop or archbishop of Trebizond before accession to the Constantinople see. He was deposed by Pope Agapetus I for adhering to Miaphysitism (the belief that Jesus had only one nature completely divine and human) before 13 March 536,[1][2] and later hidden by Theodora in her quarters for 12 years, until her death.
