John of Constantinople (died 839) was an abbot of the Cathares Monastery, in Constantinople. He clashed with Emperor Leo the Armenian, who was instituting a policy of iconoclasm. John survived torture. He is considered a saint by the Catholic[1] and Eastern Orthodox[2] churches, and is celebrated by them respectively on 18 April and 27 April.[3][4]
