Eugenius II (Greek: Εὐγένιος; c. 1780 – 27 July 1822) was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 1821 until his death in 1822.^[1][2] Prior to his election as Patriarch, he was ArchbishopofAnchialosinBulgaria.

Eugenius was among the Archbishops held as hostages by Mahmud II along with Patriarch Gregory V when the Greek War of Independence broke out in 1821. On 10 April 1821, Gregory V was deposed and hanged by the Turks in the central gate of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Archbishop Eugenius, still a prisoner at the time, was elected as the new Patriarch under the name Eugenius II.
