Eustathius of Constantinople (Greek: Εὐστάθιος; died November 1025) was Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from July 1019 to November 1025.

Eustathius was the

ecumenic in its own sphere (in suo orbe) in the East as the Papacy was in the world (in universo).[1] It is assumed this was Eustathius' effort to retain control over the Southern Italian churches.[2] While the offer was rejected, there was an acceptance by Pope John XIX of the practice of the Byzantine Rite in the south of Italy in exchange for the establishment of Latin Rite churches in Constantinople.[3]

His successor was Alexius of Constantinople.
