Dalmatius of Constantinople was a 5th-century Byzantine priest and archimandrite who served as the chief monk of the imperial capital. Leading the Dalmatian Monastery, he held significant influence during the reign of Theodosius II. He is primarily remembered for his theological stance against the Nestorian heresy, an opposition that led him to lead a group of monks to the imperial palace to confront the emperor directly.
