'''Peter of Constantinople''' was the Patriarch of Constantinople from 654 to 666. He was a follower of the [[heresy]] of [[Monothelitism]] and was condemned at the [[Sixth Ecumenical Council]] in 680/681.

==Life==
Little is known of his life before becoming [[patriarch]]. Peter succeeded Patr. Pyrrhus who also was a Monothelite. In correspondence with Pope Vitalian of Rome following Vitalian's ascension to the [[see]] of Rome, Peter was noncommittal concerning Monothelitism, leading to a restoration of ecclesiastical intercourse between Rome and Constantinople. This resulted the addition of Vitalian's name on the [[diptychs]] of the church in Constantinople—the only name of a [[pope]] so entered between the reign of [[Honorius I of Rome|Honorius I]], who died in 638, and 677 when Patr. Theodore I removed the pope's name prior to the Sixth Ecumenical Council. At the council Peter was condemned as a [[heretic]] along with Patriarchs [[Sergius I of Constantinople|Sergius I]], [[Pyrrhus I of Constantinople|Pyrrhus I]] and [[Paul II of Constantinople|Paul II]] all of Constantinople]], Patriarch [[Cyrus of Alexandria]], and Theodore of Pharan.
