Neophytus V of Constantinople

Neophytus V of Constantinople (Greek: Νεόφυτος; died 1711) was Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople for a few days in 1707.

[1] Neophytus was appointed Metropolitan of Heraclea on 15 May 1689.

[2]: 174  The bishops and the laity[3] elected him as Patriarch of Constantinople on 20 October 1707.

[2]: 40  He was not confirmed however by the Ottoman Sultan, who reserved the right, as previously the Byzantine Emperor, to confirm the election.

Thus, in five days, Neophytus V was deposed and he remained Metropolitan of Heraclea until 1711, the probable year of his death.
