Cyril V of Constantinople (Greek: Κύριλλος Καράκαλλος; died 27 July 1775) was a Greek Orthodox monk who served as the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople for two periods, from 1748 to 1751 and from 1752 to 1757.
A controversial figure, often blamed for his ideas about the baptism, in 1755 he issued the Oros, a canonical document which, superseding the previous use of accepting Christian converts by Chrismation, stated that all non-Orthodox baptisms (including Roman Catholics) were not valid and all converts needed to be re-baptised.
