Phocas of Sinope, also known as Phocas the Gardener, was a martyr living in the early 4th century. According to Catholic tradition, he resided in Sinope on the Black Sea, where he worked as a gardener and used his harvest to support the impoverished and persecuted Christians. His historical identity is sometimes considered a combination of different figures, including a bishop and a gardener. He is commemorated as a saint in both the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic traditions.
