List of Syriac Orthodox patriarchs of Antioch

The Syriac Orthodox Church underwent schism in the medieval era, first, after the death of Patriarch Philoxenus I Nemrud in 1292 with the formation of separate patriarchates of Mardin and Melitene, and again in 1364 due to the emergence of a patriarchate of Tur Abdin.

The current patriarch of Antioch of the Syriac Orthodox Church is Ignatius Aphrem II.
