Castinus of Byzantium (Greek: Καστῖνος; died 237) was reputedly thebishop of Byzantium between 230 and 237; in some catalogues, he appears asConstantine orKastinos.[1]

He was a senator fromRome, who initially was not aChristian. He converted toEarly Christianity, being baptised by thebishop ofArgyropolis, Cyrillianus. From then on, he gave his fortune to the poor and was devoted to the Church. He was bishop of Byzantium from 230 to 237. Until his tenure, the cathedral was near the sea in the area of presentGalata. He built one of the oldest churches in Byzantium to honourSaint Euphemia.[2]

Nicephorus Callistus refers to him in his works as Constantine.

His memory is revered on 25 January.

Church historianFrederick George Holweck says that there were no bishops at Byzantium in the third century.[3]
