Deogratias de Carthage was a North African prelate who served as the Bishop of Carthage between 454 and 457. Following the Vandal conquest of the city in 439, the episcopal seat had remained vacant for fourteen years because the previous bishop, Quodvultdeus, had been exiled and local priests were imprisoned by King Genseric. His name, which translates as "thanks be to God," was a common Catholic salutation used in Africa to differentiate themselves from the Donatist movement.
