The Council of Constantinople of 1923 was a meeting of representatives of several local Eastern Orthodox Churches held in Constantinople from 10 May to 8 June 1923, convened at the initiative of Ecumenical Patriarch Meletius Metaxakis. In spite of being called by some as the "Pan-Orthodox Council of Constantinople of 1923", or otherwise referred to as "pan-Orthodox" or as an "ecumenical council", the council is not recognized as an ecumenical council: "Calling the 1923 Council 'ecumenical' cannot be accepted, since representatives of the Alexandrian, Antiochian, Jerusalem and most of the other Local Churches did not participate in its work."
