Papyrus 121, also known as P. Oxy. LXXI 4805, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John in a fragmentary condition. It is designated by the siglum 𝔓121 in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts. The surviving texts of John are only fragments of verses 19:17-18,25-26. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been assigned to the 3rd century by the INTF.[1]

The manuscript currently is housed at the Papyrology Rooms of the Sackler Library at Oxford with the shelf number P. Oxy. 4805.[1]
