Papyrus 75 (formerly Papyrus Bodmer XIVXV, now Hanna Papyrus 1), is an early Greek New Testament manuscript written on papyrus containing text from the Gospel of Luke 3:18–24:53, and John 1:1–15:8.[1]: 101  It is designated by the siglum 𝔓75 in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts.[1]: 101  It is generally described as "the most significant" papyrus of the New Testament to be discovered so far.[1]: 244  Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been traditionally dated to the third century,[1]: 101  although some recent studies have provided arguments to consider date ranges into the early fourth century, and not just the third century.[2]: 437 [3] It is due to the traditional early dating that the manuscript has a high evaluation, and the fact its text so closely resembles that of the fourth-century Codex Vaticanus (B).[2]: 405–407 

It is currently housed in the Vatican Library (Hanna Papyrus 1) in Rome.
