The Codex Washingtonianus ( Gregory-Aland no. W or 032 ; von Soden ε 014) is a Greek manuscript of the New Testament that is dated to the 5th century. It consists of the four Gospels on 187 sheets of parchment (21 × 14.3 cm) and is the third oldest surviving Gospel manuscript. The Gospels are arranged in the order of the Western manuscripts (Matthew, John, Luke, Mark) as in Codex Bezae . The manuscript contains a full-page colored miniature of the evangelists John and Matthew from the 7th century.
The codex is kept in the Freer Gallery of Art (Smithsonian Institution, No. 06.274) in Washington .
