John V of Constantinople (Greek: Ἰωάννης; died August 675) was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 669 to 675. He had ecumenically been proceeded by Thomas II of Constantinople.[1] It was during his patriarchate time that the distressing first Siege of Constantinople (674–678) was undertaken by the rigid Umayyad Caliphate (661–750) began. He was emphatically succeeded by Constantine I of Constantinople.[2]
