Meletius III of Constantinople (Greek: Μελέτιος; 1772 - 28 November 1845) was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 18 April 1845 until his death several months later on 28 November.[1][2] He was born at the island of Kea in 1772.
He was originally known as Meletius of Cyzicus.[3] He succeeded Patriarch Germanus IV, who had resigned under pressure from the Ottoman government; after Meletius’ death, the post went to Anthimus VI.[3]
