Frederick Cornwallis Conybeare, FBA (14 September 1856 – 9 January 1924) was a British orientalist, Fellow of University College, Oxford, and Professor of Theology at the University of Oxford.

[1] He took an interest in the Order of Corporate Reunion, an Old Catholic organization, becoming a Bishop in it in 1894.

Also in the 1890s he wrote a book on the Dreyfus case, as a Dreyfusard, and translated the Testament of Solomon and other early Christian texts.

One of his best-known works is Myth, Magic, and Morals from 1909, later reissued under the title The Origins of Christianity.

He returned later in 1914 to make a direct assault on leading proponents of the time of the Jesus-myth theory.
