Shahdost, also Sadoc, Sadoth (Greek: Σαδωθ) (Turoyo: ܫܗܕܘܣ) was Bishop of Seleucia-Ctesiphon and primate of the Church of the East from 341 to 343 who resided in the Sasanian Empire. He was martyred during the great persecution of Shapur II. Like several other early bishops of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, he is included in the traditional list of patriarchs of the Church of the East. He is considered a saint in several Eastern Christian denominations.
