Euagrios of Constantinople
Euagrios (Greek Εὐάγριος ; † 380 ) was Archbishop of Constantinople (370 and possibly 379/380).
Euagrios was elected as the new Archbishop of Constantinople by the Nicene community in 370 after the death of Eudoxius . The Arian community appointed Demophilos their archbishop. When Emperor Valens found out about it, he had Euagrios deposed and banished from Constantinople.
Euagrios died in 380. He is said to have been Archbishop of Constantinople for a short time shortly before his death.
