Athanasius IV Ignace Michael Jawhar (or Jahouar or Jauhar or Giohar, 1733–1794) was Patriarch of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church from 1788 to 1794.
Cyril VI Tanas summoned a synod of bishops on 30 July[1] 1759 where he resigned and Jawhar succeeded being elected patriarch under the name of Athanasius.
Nor Jawhar accepted as patriarch Theodosius V Dahan who was elected shortly later the death of Maximos Hakim: he answered consecrating two bishops by his own initiative.
The election of Theodosius Dahan was however confirmed on 23 September 1763 by the Roman Congregation of Propaganda Fide and on 23 December 1763 by another synod of the Mekite bishops.
In August 1764 Jawhar returned to Lebanon where anyway a few months later, in February 1765 he was again proclaimed patriarch by some bishops: Rome answered with a formal excommunication on 14 September 1765.
