Chrysostomos of Smyrna was a Greek Orthodox metropolitan bishop who served the community in Smyrna (modern-day İzmir) during the early 20th century. Born in Triglia in 1867, he held various ecclesiastical positions, including serving as the Metropolitan of Drama before returning to his leadership role in Smyrna. His tenure was marked by intense political tension and strong nationalist sentiments. He remained in the city during the Greco-Turkish War and was ultimately killed by a mob in August 1922 following the retreat of the Hellenic Army.
