Saint Pamphilus (Greek: Πάμφιλος; latter half of the 3rd century – February 16, 309 AD), was a priest of Caesarea and chief among the biblical scholars of his generation.

A native of Phoenicia,[1] Eusebius' Martyrs of Palestine attests that Pamphilus was of a rich and honorable family of Beirut.

In 306 a young man named Apphianus—a disciple of Pamphilus "while no one was aware; he even concealed it from us who were even in the same house"[4]—interrupted the governor in the act of offering sacrifice, and paid for his boldness with martyrdom.

Saint Pamphilus and other members of his household, along with Valens, deacon of the Church of Jerusalem and Paul of Jamnia,[5] men "in the full vigour of mind and body", were without further torture sentenced to be beheaded in February, 309.

Nearly at the same time another of his companions, Patriklos, suffered a martyr death in Caesarea and was later interred after the payment of a ransom to Diocletian in Cappadocia.
