Mattathias ben Theophilus (Hebrew:מתתיהו בן תאופילוס; died c. 66 CE) was the Jewish High Priest (Kohen Gadol)^[1] at the start of theJewish Revolution, and was overthrown by Revolutionary forces.

A minority of scholars believe him to be the same as theTheophilus mentioned in the New Testament books ofLuke 1:3 andActs 1:1.^{[citation needed]} One author argues that Mattathias ben Theophilus was the father ofJosephus.^[2]
